Hangzhou professor living alone fainted at home due to heatstroke.

There are waves of high temperatures hanging over Hangzhou. According to the latest weather forecast, the highest temperature in Hangzhou will reach 39-40℃ from July 26th to 29th. When most people turn on the air conditioner to isolate the sweltering heat outside, 77-year-old Li Rui is still busy at home, with no fan or air conditioner. He didn't know that he had heatstroke, and his physical strength was rapidly losing. Li Rui found himself lying on the ground, unable to get up. Although it is only three or five meters away from the door, he still can't get in. His feverish brain is a mess. The neighbor outside the door shouted anxiously. He could only respond to a few syllables, but forgot to call for help. The day when he fell to the ground due to heatstroke was July 13. So far, Li Rui is still receiving treatment in the hospital. _

He fell down twice in a row and didn't know he had heatstroke.

The unfinished rough house, with less than 90 square meters of space, is divided into bedroom, kitchen, living room and study room. Yam, sweet potato and corn are placed in a bamboo basket on the concrete floor, and there is a white flour steamed bread in a plastic bag on the cupboard. There are four or five washbasins in the messy corner, and there are colorless towels on the pillars next to them. No air conditioning, no fan. In hot weather, shake the fan, fill a plastic basin with cold water, and wipe your body with a wet towel. This is the summer of Li Rui for more than ten years.

The 77-year-old professor remembers heatstroke in July 13. The highest temperature in Hangzhou that day was 40.3℃, "the sun is very big". At 7 o'clock in the morning, he ate a bowl of porridge cooked at home, including red beans, mung beans, kidney beans, tomatoes and pumpkins, mixed with two spoonfuls of black sesame paste powder. Like many old people, he pays great attention to the nutrition of breakfast. Li Rui then went to the supermarket near the community to buy food. He is going to buy some raw vegetables, such as carrots, tomatoes and cucumbers. "It's inconvenient to cook in summer", so he bought a bag of steamed bread in the canteen near the community, which is his staple food for lunch and dinner. On the way back, he suddenly fell on the side of the road. After being sent to the police station by good people, they were taken home by community workers.

"It is normal to fall when you are old," Li Rui told reporters. He thought he just fell down accidentally and didn't take any measures when he got home. He still heated the leftovers in the hot kitchen and steamed a steamed bun for lunch with an induction cooker. Then he picked up the cup and went on doing what he did every day: reading in the study.

When you concentrate, you are not sensitive to temperature, and you don't know that you had heatstroke. Without family around, the old man doesn't know his physical condition. The accident happened around 7 pm. Wei, Li Rui's neighbor and retired teacher liaison in the School of Humanities where he teaches, came to the door to give Li Rui a small fan, but he knocked on the door for half an hour, but no one answered. "I heard that well and OK responded to me, but there was no other action." Wei quickly called the community staff. I'm conscious, but I can't move my limbs. After diagnosis, the old man fainted due to heatstroke and caused complications of lung infection. At present, Li Rui is still in hospital, and the community has found a nurse to take care of him. On July 2 1 day, when the qianjiang evening news current affairs reporter contacted the old man by phone, his voice was a little weak: "I hung up the salt water for nine days, and now I feel fine, but I have been lying for too long. This is a narrow escape. "

_ Living alone is very simple, and air conditioning has become a decoration.

Before retiring, Li Rui taught in a university in Hangzhou. In 2005, Li Rui spent 1000 yuan to buy a Haier air conditioner, which broke down after about a year's use. "I don't want to repair it. I am afraid of trouble. All the brands you mentioned are like this. I'd better not use these appliances. " Air conditioning has since become an ornament in the room. Although community workers repeatedly reminded him to pay attention to the summer vacation and health first during the visit, he still had distrust of electrical appliances.

Like most old people, Li Rui's life track after retirement is also very simple. Starting at 7: 00 every morning, he will walk for more than ten minutes to the nearby supermarket to buy food, or go to Hangzhou Library by car with a backpack. Sometimes he comes back with a dozen books on his back. When waiting for the bus, he will record some thoughts in his notebook. "People will be confused when they see me. Why should I bring a notebook? " Li Rui insisted on reading and writing for ten hours every day for a whole year. He thinks that "people are old and time is too limited, so they should read more and write more", but using smart phones is "too much trouble". Because he always forgets to charge.

He doesn't have a phone or WeChat, so community helpers can only contact him by visiting. Li Rui's house is very humble and has no decoration. Colleagues will complain when they come home as guests: "This is really outrageous, or the concrete floor." Apples are always cheap but of poor quality. "Teacher Li lives frugally, and the most valuable thing is a room full of books," Wei told reporters.

Li Rui has no children. Because there is no communication tool, he has lost contact with his only relative in Xi 'an for many years. After retirement, he has been living alone in Fenghuang Community. When Wei investigated the guardians of retired employees, she asked him what to do if he was sick or had no guardian in an emergency. Li Rui's long silence was the answer.

Li Rui once read Zhou Daxin's Dark Slowly, which is a novel focusing on an aging society. "I think some old people are not doing well in nursing homes, and I don't want to go to nursing homes." The community first tried to send Li Rui several times, but the old man refused. However, after he fainted from heatstroke, he felt that community workers and colleagues were working hard for him, so he decided to move to a nursing home to try. He is most concerned about going to the bank to withdraw money immediately after discharge and returning Wei's prepaid medical expenses to him.

The incidence of heatstroke in the elderly is high, and fans should be turned on in hot days.

_ The temperature in Hangzhou, which has been swept by heat waves for several days, remains high, which young people can't stand, and even more so when they are older. Only the hourly news reported several cases of heatstroke in the elderly.

On the afternoon of July 10, a 78-year-old man walked into the emergency room of the Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine in Linping District, Hangzhou with the help of his family. The old man was pale, short of breath, weak in limbs and unconscious. After the doctor asked his family, he learned that the old man was suffering from heatstroke in the hot sun. When the temperature was measured, it was as high as 39.7℃, and it recovered after nearly one hour of rescue.

12 One afternoon in July, an old man with white hair who lives in Shangcheng, Hangzhou was picking lotus flowers by the roadside, and the outdoor temperature was as high as 40℃. He fainted and the back of his head fell to the ground. The situation was very critical, and enthusiastic passers-by quickly reported the police. Subsequently, the police car took the old man to the hospital, and the old man was rescued from danger.

In addition, from July 12 to July 13, more than 30 patients with heatstroke were admitted to the emergency department of Xiaoshan Second People's Hospital, including 5 in the Department of Critical Care Medicine. Among these heatstroke patients, the oldest is Granny Liu, 10 1 year. Because of home decoration, she lives in a temporary room without air conditioning. On July 13, when she was taken to the hospital, her temperature was as high as 42. 1℃, and she was diagnosed with heatstroke, which also led to multiple organ dysfunction, which was very dangerous.

Most of the heatstroke patients admitted to the hospital are elderly people. Due to living habits and other reasons, most people do not take heatstroke prevention measures such as turning on the air conditioner.

The doctor reminded that in the days of continuous high temperature, the air conditioner can be adjusted to about 26℃ with the air conditioner on and the fan on, and ventilation should be done in the morning and evening.
