Medical personnel must perform on-site resuscitation for approximately 15-20 minutes to restore the patient's pulse before transferring them to Hospital E.
Upon arrival at the emergency room, the victim's circulation was restored, and they are currently receiving intensive treatment from the doctors.
It is known that the victim had just played pickleball for 15-20 minutes when the unfortunate incident suddenly occurred.
In recent times, it has not been uncommon for people to be hospitalized while playing sports .
Dr. Doan Du Manh, member of the Vietnam Vascular Disease Association, shared: Strokes while playing sports mainly occur in patients with blood pressure problems, cardiovascular diseases, and overexertion causing the disease to recur and lead to stroke.
About 80% of stroke cases while playing sports are people with pre-existing cardiovascular disease. Many people know about the disease but subjectively think it is mild, but some people have the disease but have not discovered it because they do not go to the doctor, or the doctor is not the right specialist so it is not detected.
Dr. Manh said, for example, when playing soccer, the heart rate changes, beats faster, if not well controlled, it will cause blood pressure to increase rapidly, causing cerebral ischemia. The patient may return to normal after a few minutes, but this is a warning sign of an impending dangerous stroke.
Previously, strokes often occurred in the elderly and middle-aged people, people aged 50 and over, but recently the rate of stroke has increased in young people. Many causes such as cerebral vascular malformations, chronic non-communicable diseases (hypertension, diabetes), living habits, eating, and exercise can increase the risk of stroke such as smoking, unhealthy eating; sedentary habits, and travel.
To prevent stroke, patients should effectively manage underlying conditions, especially hypertension. Dietary changes are necessary to control blood pressure, such as limiting salt or sodium, alcohol, tobacco, coffee, tea, soft drinks, and saturated fats. Increasing fruit and vegetable intake and exercising regularly are also important.
With risk factors that cannot be self-identified, such as cerebral vascular malformations, cerebral aneurysms, and brain tumors, people should have regular health checkups and proactively screen for stroke. Diagnostic procedures such as CT scans, MRI scans of the brain, and DSA angiography can detect brain abnormalities early, allowing for timely intervention.
Before practicing any sport, people need to proactively meet with a sports doctor or physical trainer for advice and screening to see if there are any underlying diseases such as heart disease, lung disease or family history of heart, lung, blood pressure, musculoskeletal problems. If there are any abnormalities, they will be advised to choose the appropriate exercise and exercise amount to avoid unfortunate consequences.
