How to prevent "winter hypoxia"?
When the temperature drops, the time people spend in the enclosed space is greatly increased, and when the oxygen supply is insufficiaent, the body is deprived of oxygen, a phenomenon commonly known as winter hypoxia syndrome.
1) Open Windows regularly for ventilation
When many families use air conditioning for heating, in order to maintain the indoor temperature, the doors and Windows are closed, so that the bacteria multiply in the room, and they are sent to every corner of the room with the circulation of the air conditioner. People who stay in such a room for a long time will feel dizzy and weak. Therefore, in addition to reducing the use of air conditioning time as much as possible, it is also necessary to maintain the habit of frequently opening Windows for ventilation. When the weather is good, you can open the doors and Windows for ventilation once a day in the morning, middle and evening.
2) Maintain appropriate indoor humidity and temperature
In general, the most suitable indoor humidity in winter is 30%-60%, and an air humidifier can be put in the room if it is too dry. At the same time to avoid indoor and outdoor temperature difference is too large, the general room temperature control at 16℃-24℃ is appropriate.
3) Maintain environmental hygiene
The living environment should be cleaned frequently to prevent excessive bacteria in the indoor air, especially in offices, children's rooms and families with pets. Carpets, sofas and bedding at home should be sun-dried and replaced frequently.
4) Indoor green plants are placed in place
When green plants are exposed to sunlight, they absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen during photosynthesis. Therefore, indoor placement of green plants is a good way to alleviate hypoxia, both natural and beautify the environment. It is best placed on the balcony, living room, study and other locations, because at night, green plants will absorb (absorb oxygen, exhale carbon oxide), and people compete to absorb oxygen.
Which groups are more prone to hypoxia?
The first category: middle-aged and elderly people with chronic diseases
The middle-aged and elderly people themselves exist because of the decline of various organ functions caused by age, and the body is also in a relatively weak state. If there are various chronic diseases, it is easy to have poor breathing and insufficient oxygen.
The second category: "sub-healthy" office workers
Today's office workers because of work pressure, irregular work and rest time or sleep time is too little and other reasons, there are many people have appeared "sub-health" situation. People who are in a sub-health state are also prone to hypoxia. If you usually and occasionally have dizziness, headache, dyspnea, panic, shortness of breath and other symptoms, it is necessary to consider whether there is hypoxia.
The third category: people who are stressed out
No matter what kind of age and environment, people are prone to symptoms of hypoxia when they are under too much pressure. For example, students facing the high school entrance examination or college entrance examination are extremely prone to symptoms of brief hypoxia at a very tense moment.
The fourth category: insomniacs
Some people with insomnia caused by anxiety, fear or depression, because the brain has been in a "tense" state, the brain has been in high-speed operation, this time the brain will also appear because of excessive consumption and hypoxia symptoms. Therefore, people who have insomnia or lack of sleep can properly take oxygen to relieve the discomfort of the brain.
The fifth Category : Pregnant women and fetuses
Because pregnant women want a person to bear the oxygen supply of themselves and the fetus in the abdomen, the oxygen inhalation task of pregnant women is heavier than that of ordinary people, and they are more prone to hypoxia. Once there is insufficient oxygen intake, it will lead to hypoxia of both the pregnant woman and the fetus in the abdomen. Therefore, pregnant women must pay attention to ensure adequate supply of oxygen.
The sixth Category : Severe and critically ill patients with COVID-19
Recently, as the epidemic prevention and control is further optimized, Omici is coming like an overwhelming tide, and oxygen therapy is sometimes required for patients with new coronavirus pneumonia, but it mainly depends on the severity of the patient's condition. For mild and common COVID-19 patients, there are no obvious symptoms of asthma or chest tightness, and oxygen inhalation is not necessary for hypoxia.
But for those who are severely and critically ill, there can be significant chest tightness, wheezing, and even difficulty breathing. Due to the serious inflammatory response of the lung tissue, it can affect the ventilation function and diffusion function of the lung, and patients can be accompanied by different degrees of hypoxemia, or even respiratory failure. Such patients need to be highly concentrated oxygen inhalation, can be nasal catheter, mask oxygen inhalation, some severe respiratory failure patients, but also need to use ventilators to assist breathing, to improve the body's hypoxia state, maintain organ function. Therefore, oxygen inhalation is one of the treatment methods for patients with severe pneumonia.

In addition, the symptoms of "winter hypoxia", and repeated cold and fever, should go to the hospital to ask the doctor for further treatment; For the original suffering from respiratory diseases, cardiovascular diseases complicated by "winter hypoxia" and the above treatment effect is not good, as well as due to fire heating caused by severe hypoxia or even carbon monoxide poisoning, once found should be rushed to the hospital with conditions for rescue.
