Loss of consciousness at Yeosu beer competition, on-site doctor responds quickly

 

[GLOBAL ECONOMIC TIMES]  According to a Newsis report on the 27th, at around 5:18 p.m. on the 25th, an accident occurred during a beer drinking competition held at a gym in Sijeon-dong, Yeosu-si, where Mr. A, a man in his 40s, suddenly lost consciousness and went into cardiac arrest.

Fortunately, thanks to the quick CPR and other emergency treatment provided by the doctor at the scene, Mr. A regained consciousness and was taken to the hospital by the 119 ambulance dispatched to receive treatment. It is currently known that Mr. A is not in danger of life.

Fire authorities believe that Mr. A drank too much beer as the cause of his cardiac arrest and are investigating the exact circumstances of the accident.

This accident can be seen as an example that once again reminds us of the importance of safety management in drinking-related events such as beer drinking. Excessive drinking puts a strain on the heart and, in serious cases, can lead to emergency situations such as cardiac arrest. In particular, caution is needed when drinking a large amount of alcohol in a short period of time, such as during a beer drinking competition.
