A 23-year-old girl from Kathmandu was taking a bath in the bathroom using a gas geyser. After two hours of entering the bathroom, she did not come out. When her sister broke the door, she was found unconscious. He was immediately taken to the emergency room of the University Teaching Hospital in Maharajganj.

Chest specialist of the hospital involved in the treatment. According to Niraj Bam, he was placed on 'hyflo oxygen'. After regaining consciousness on the second day, he was 'discharged' after four days. Dr. Bam says, 'Because the patient was brought to the hospital on time, nothing could happen . If there was no rescue for a long time, the patient could have died.'

Unpleasant incidents such as suffocation due to the use of geyser to heat water in winter, death after burning coal with closed windows and doors, and fire incidents are repeated every year. By the end of November, the feeling of cold has already started . To keep the body or room warm, fire, coal and heaters are used and geysers are used to heat water. If you are not careful while using all of these, it is possible to reach the mouth of death, so it is suggested by the doctor to be careful.  

dr. While suggesting to keep the ventilation open while turning on the bomb heater, he says, 'In winter, it is natural to burn mukal, heater, firewood to warm the room and the body . Do not close all the windows, doors and curtains while warming up. Ventilation should be kept open . When taking a shower in the bathroom, the ventilation should always be kept open so that carbon monoxide does not get lost in the room and it does not lead to poisoning.'

When windows and doors are closed, carbon monoxide is also produced in the room. Dr. According to Bam, closing the windows and doors of the room will generate excessive amounts of carbon monoxide and replace the oxygen in the room. Carbon monoxide binds to hemoglobin replacing the oxygen bound to hemoglobin. It reaches the brain through blood flow and carbon monoxide poisoning occurs,' he says .

When carbon monoxide poisoning occurs, symptoms such as tingling, dizziness, vomiting, and eye twitching can be seen . Doctors say that patients are found unconscious without experiencing these symptoms in a semi-conscious state and some of them die if they are not rescued in time. When you are unconscious for a long time, the brain becomes numb, the heart stops. Chest specialist Dr. Prajwal Shrestha says, 'Oxygen is needed to light a fire . When the fire burns, the oxygen in the room is consumed . Inside a closed room, whether it is a bathroom or a room, the amount of oxygen is reduced and carbon monoxide gas is also produced.' When the room is lost, the head will be dizzy and  He says that symptoms such as heaviness, headache and fainting appear.  

Dr. A major accident can be avoided by taking common precautions. Shrestha says. During the winter months, he suggests not to burn fire and coal in a closed room in the house as much as possible. Even when taking a shower with heated water, the bathroom window and door  Bathing should not be completely closed, he said . 

experts  According to this, in the winter months, electric heaters and blowers will throw dry air and should not be used for a long time. When the heater is heated in the room for a long time, it can cause symptoms such as dry throat and nose, sore throat because there is moisture in the natural air. Which is not available when the heater is turned on . Experts say that especially children and senior citizens are more at risk, so they should be careful.  Dr. Shrestha says, 'Small children and senior citizens cannot know the said symptoms, so they should be careful . If you see any symptoms, you should immediately leave the room or open the window and door.'

Most of the incidents are rescued after going to the bathroom for a shower and being unconscious for a long time . Even if there is no death in some cases during a long period of unconsciousness, the lack of oxygen has already damaged the brain . If the amount of oxygen does not flow to the brain even for a few minutes, it will damage the brain. Even if such a patient survives, he remains in a coma for a long time, and the patient is forced to spend his life in bed . Therefore, it is necessary to raise public awareness. Shrestha says.
