On July 4, People's Hospital 115 announced that it had just received two emergency cases due to exhaustion after participating in a race in Ho Chi Minh City. The race was held on June 29.

The first case was a 34-year-old woman who was admitted to the hospital with fainting and convulsions after running about 4 km. At the emergency department , the patient was diagnosed with electrolyte disturbance after overexertion.

The team provided oxygen support, electrolyte replacement, and closely monitored the patient's consciousness and vital signs. The patient's condition then improved significantly, he was fully alert, responsive, had stable vital signs, and no more seizures.

The second case is a 32-year-old male, Korean nationality. The patient was hospitalized with low blood pressure and respiratory failure after running 3km.

In the Emergency Department, patients are supported with respiratory oxygen therapy, intravenous fluids, closely monitored for consciousness and hemodynamics, and emergency tests are performed.

As a result, the doctor diagnosed the patient with respiratory failure and myocardial damage due to increased cardiac enzymes after high-intensity exercise. Thanks to timely emergency care, the patient gradually improved, became alert, responded well, and his vital signs gradually stabilized, and he was admitted to the hospital for further treatment.

According to Master-Doctor Nguyen Kim Long, Department of Emergency Medicine, People's Hospital 115, before high-intensity exercise, each person needs to have their health screened because problems such as electrolyte disorders, blood pressure, and silent cardiovascular problems can be dangerous if not detected early.

Before competing in sports , you need to prepare your health carefully: eat well, get enough sleep, supplement water and electrolytes properly, avoid drinking alcohol or using stimulants.

Warm up properly, wear appropriate footwear; do not compete if you are sick, feel tired or are taking diuretics.

"Sports are a companion of health but only when you understand and listen to your body," Dr. Nguyen Kim Long emphasized.
