  By the impact of high temperature days, the patient continued to increase in major hospitals in Shanghai.​
  Shanghai is continuous high temperature yesterday was the first weekend in the future, the top three hospitals in Shanghai several large emergency room has become "crowded clinic", emergency amount is almost double the usual. In addition to re-myocardial infarction patients with cerebral infarction, patients with fever surge, many patients who are diagnosed with pneumonia, and even the emergency room doctors and nurses also unfortunate move. Xinhua Hospital emergency department deputy director fees Epworth said, compared to last year, this year in patients with pneumonia hot season is a bit much, a lot of pneumonia hatch air conditioning is "frozen out".
  Recent attention to the elderly fever
  During the day the unit blowing air is not moving, returning home at night after a few days, specifically in the area of ​​running public Liu yourself a sweat, ranked detoxification. After the sweat dripping, Mr. Liu returned home immediately open air, fierce winds fan them. Unexpectedly, after three consecutive days, wake up after yesterday, Mr. Liu felt groggy, shivering, a body temperature 39.5 ℃. After coming Xinhua Hospital emergency room, blood, film, and other results came out, the doctor told Liu suffering from acute pneumonia, requiring immediate hospitalization.
  The last two days, emergency room patients with pneumonia more than two or three percent in the past, but mostly conditioned to blame. Epworth fee frankly, at high temperatures, people fatigue, immunity decreases. Many respiratory diseases are induced due to improper use of air conditioning. Respiratory tract under the action of air conditioning is very fragile, and air conditioning once the break respiratory fragile "defense", ranging from respiratory diseases occur on coughing, sneezing, runny nose, bacteria slowly downward from the upper respiratory tract to the lower respiratory system violated, and induce pneumonia.
  Coincidentally, at the Yan Chai Hospital rescue hall, four critically ill patients being rescued viral pneumonia, and even spend a noninvasive ventilator."Is the feeling of no energy." A 60-year-old man Though pneumonia, but has no symptoms of fever, that is normal after a hot day. Unexpectedly, the condition has worsened, even the strength to get up as well. To the hospital only to find that the old man suffering from pneumonia, has caused liver dysfunction.
  "The recent attention to the elderly fever." Yan Chai Hospital Emergency Department deputy Ren Chenjie also rather mixed feelings, a lot of patients with fever recently, it is likely to develop into pneumonia. Especially viral pneumonia progressed very quickly, there is no cure, only symptomatic treatment.

  Currently the city hospitals at all levels go all out to deal with hot weather, ensure medical treatment. Ruijin Hospital outpatient clinic personnel concentrated in high temperature characteristics in the morning, every day 5:45 begins registered, 15 minutes earlier than usual, while the registration window in the early morning from 2 to 4, triage patients as soon as possible to ease the morning peak attendance ʱ??

  Whether it is day or night, emergency outpatient services are far beyond the usual queue. Yan Chai Hospital and Xinhua Hospital emergency room, only there are more than 1,000 medical patients, patient accounting outpatient hot cold half, the majority of patients because of improper use of air conditioning, Tanliang disease.

Since high temperatures, some of the elderly patients appeared heart attack, abnormal elevation of blood pressure, and some even appear myocardial infarction, stroke and other conditions.
  Experts said the hot weather, the body surface blood vessels expanding, blood collection in the surface, heart, brain inadequate blood supply, coronary heart disease is very easy to sudden illness; secondly, summer sweat more easily sticky blood, blood viscosity elevated easy to form blood clots, and may lead to hyperglycemia.
