#cardiac arrest, #cardiopulmonary resuscitation, #golden time, #targeted temperature management, #automated external defibrillator
Cardiac arrest is a life-threatening emergency in which the heart stops and cannot pump blood to the body. Calling 119, prompt cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) by bystanders, and treatment by an emergency medicine specialist are key to saving the patient's life.2026-06-26

Fluid Intake and Health
#fluid intake, #water, #empty stomach, #bowel movement, #dehydration, #health drinks, #digestion
The body keeps its fluid balance by triggering thirst when fluid is low and excreting excess fluid in the urine. Rather than following a fixed standard, the basic principle is to drink enough when you feel thirsty. Drinking water on an empty stomach in the morning can replace fluid used up overnight and may help bowel movement.2026-06-26

Heat Waves and Heart Health
#heat wave, #sudden cardiac death, #heat stroke, #heat-related illness, #heart attack, #angina, #cardiac arrest, #arrhythmia, #hydration, #summer health, #dizziness, #feeling faint, #unsteadiness, #vision going dark, #fainting, #loss of consciousness, #syncope, #breath holding, #difficulty breathing, #shortness of breath, #choking sensation
Extreme heat raises the risk of angina, heart attack, and cardiac arrest by increasing heart rate, promoting blood clotting, and placing added strain on the heart. Older adults age 65 and older, people with cardiovascular disease, and those with chronic conditions such as high blood pressure or diabetes need to be especially careful. On days when a heat wave warning is issued, please stay active indoors for safety.2026-06-26

Heat-related illness is an acute emergency condition that occurs after prolonged exposure to a hot environment. It can cause headache, dizziness, muscle cramps, and, in severe cases, decreased consciousness. People who work outdoors, older adults, and children need to take particular care. If symptoms appear, move to a cool place immediately, and if heat stroke is suspected, call 119 (Korea's emergency number) right away. Please consult a medical specialist.2026-06-26

Holiday Health Care for People with Arthritis
#arthritis, #rheumatoid arthritis, #osteoarthritis (degenerative arthritis), #morning stiffness, #air pressure, #arthralgia, #warm compress, #cold compress, #holiday health, #joint protection, #joint pain, #knee pain, #shoulder pain, #wrist pain, #body swelling, #facial swelling, #leg swelling, #swelling in hands and feet
During holidays, there are many activities that strain the joints, such as long-distance travel, long hours of cooking, and carrying heavy loads. In addition, arthritis symptoms can worsen in transitional seasons with large daily temperature swings and changes in air pressure. Avoid overexerting yourself with holiday work, and protect your joints with stretching, warm compresses, and appropriate exercise.2026-06-26

Hypothermia
#hypothermia, #cold-related illness, #cold wave, #body temperature, #core temperature, #frostbite, #winter health, #hand tremor, #body tremor
Hypothermia refers to a drop in core body temperature to 35°C or below. The lower the body temperature falls, the more dangerous the condition becomes, and in severe cases it can lead to cardiac arrest. It can occur with prolonged exposure to extreme cold or cold environments, and extra caution is needed when alcohol has been consumed. If hypothermia is suspected, please call 119 immediately or go to a hospital.2026-06-26

Post-Cardiac Arrest Integrated Care
#cardiac arrest, #cardiopulmonary resuscitation, #defibrillation, #chain of survival, #targeted temperature management, #heart, #emergency
Cardiac arrest is a condition in which the heart stops, cutting off the blood supply to the brain and the rest of the body. Without emergency care within 3 to 5 minutes, serious brain damage can occur, so immediate treatment such as CPR and defibrillation is important, and integrated care by a specialized medical team is needed afterward. If cardiac arrest is suspected, call 119 immediately and receive treatment from a medical specialist.2026-06-26

Structure and Function of the Brain
#brain, #cerebrum, #cerebellum, #brainstem, #frontal lobe, #hippocampus, #neuroplasticity, #neuron, #dry cough, #persistent minor cough, #cough that will not stop
The brain is the most important organ in the body. It processes all sensory information, regulates bodily functions, and is responsible for mental activities such as memory, thinking, and emotion. It is broadly divided into the cerebrum, cerebellum, and brainstem, and each part has a specific role.2026-06-26

Structure and Function of the Lungs
#lung, #alveoli, #bronchus, #respiration, #oxygen, #carbon dioxide, #thoracic cavity, #external respiration, #lung function
The lungs are organs that play a central role in breathing. They are responsible for external respiration — delivering oxygen from the air into the blood and expelling carbon dioxide produced by the body. There is one lung on each side of the heart, and each lung is made up of roughly 500 million alveoli (tiny air sacs).2026-06-26
