On October 15, 2024, the Chu Yongwei team of the Emergency Center of Economic Development Zone received a dispatching call from the 120. "In an office building in Yizhuang, a 27-year-old man called for an ambulance because he felt unwell and vomited." The driver Zhi Kaichuan promptly drove the ambulance, leading the crew to the emergency scene as quickly as possible. On the way, Doctor Chu Yongwei contacted the on-site people by phone, asked about the patient's condition, guided the patient to take self-rescue measures, and calmed the patient. Nurse Guo Shijie quickly sorted out the relevant rescue equipment and prepared for emergency treatment.
The crew arrived at the scene quickly. With the guidance of the patient's colleagues, the emergency personnel rushed to the patient with rescue equipment. It is understood that after strenuous exercise, the patient felt slightly dizzy originally, but soon he was sweating seriously, and red rashes with itching appeared on the skin all over his body. Then he vomited violently and his breathe became rapid. The patient said that he had a history of allergies, and the emergency personnel found that the patient's blood pressure was low after a detailed examination. Combined with the symptoms, Dr. Chu initially concluded that the patient had experienced a systemic allergic reaction triggered by strenuous exercise. He immediately instructed Nurse Guo to assist with medical measures, including oxygen inhalation, ECG monitoring, establishing intravenous access, and administering rescue medications. During the treatment process, the emergency personnel paid close attention to the changes in the patient's condition to ensure that every step of the operation was accurate. Time passed, and the patient's symptoms became more stable. He was quickly and safely transferred to the receiving hospital for further treatment.
After timely treatment, the patient is now out of danger. His colleagues and family members expressed their sincere gratitude for the quick response and professional treatment of the 120 ambulance crew.

5. If you experience dizziness, wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, or vomiting, there may be a risk of a severe reaction. It is necessary to call the 120 emergency number immediately to avoid delaying critical treatment.
