Do not help the elder to stand up promptly as they fall
公共卫生监测部 2007-11-14 16:22:00


    There are many factors to cause the elders fall, and the most common one is hypertension. When the elders have high blood pressure, some induced factors, such as temperature changes, strenuous exercise, mental stress and so on can lead to transient blood pressure increase. For the elders have vascular sclerosis or cerebral vascular, in the circumstances of  blood pressure increased abnormal, the self-regulating brain vascular capacity may be breakup, and will lead the cerebral vascular rupture and causes cerebral hemorrhage, which is called stroke. If the elder fall unconscious, not to wake the patients promptly at this time, for push or pull him will cause the rupture of cerebral vascular expand and the brain hemorrhage volume increases, the illness would be worse and even life-threatening.

    At this moment, the correct way is to keep the patient calm, and maintain in high head and semi-supine stage. If condition permits, put cold packs or cold towels on the heads of patients to relieve the cerebral hemorrhage. Cerebrovascular may be reduced when stimulated by cold and achieve the purpose of hemostasis. Then should immediately call 120 (emergency number) for doctors’ relief aid.

    Other above, falls caused by cerebral ischemia could not be lifted, because cerebral insufficiency may cause syncope, patients should be supine, if help with their lifting, will cause the brain ischemia.
