According to Dr. Vo Thi Doan Thuc - Deputy Head of the Intensive Care Unit of Area D, Cho Ray Hospital, the patient is a 32-year-old male man, admitted to the hospital on April 8 in a coma and on a ventilator.
Medical history shows that this person was participating in a 42km race when he showed symptoms of convulsions and coma. He was then given emergency care at a local hospital.
Through examination and paraclinical tests, the doctor determined that the patient had heat stroke, liver and kidney damage, and perception disorders. The crew conducted mechanical ventilation measures, blood filtration, and supportive treatment.
After a day, the patient's condition improved, the endotracheal tube was removed, he breathed air on his own, and his vital signs were stable. Because there is still liver and kidney failure, patients must continue to filter blood and treat to support liver function.
According to BSCK2 Vo Thi Doan Thuc, physical exercise has a good impact on health. Running alone helps improve cardiovascular health, control blood sugar, weight, and improve mental health.
However, jogging too much also has risks such as inflammation, muscle destruction, electrolyte disorders. In particular, for people with underlying cardiovascular disease, strenuous running can lead to sudden death or stroke.
Therefore, runners need to exercise long-term. Initially, you can walk slowly and gradually increase the intensity to suit your physical strength and health.
