Huang Xuan said that if the room temperature is not maintained at 18-20°C, or if the temperature difference between the two rooms is >5°C, "undressing, before and after bathing, and during sleep" are all timing points for sudden death.

Therefore, in addition to keeping yourself warm, you also have to keep the room warm; the picture shows the situation.

[Health Channel/Comprehensive Report] This weekend will usher in the first cold wave after winter.

Whenever the cold snap hits, there are frequent cases of sudden death indoors. In this regard, Huang Xuan, a thoracic and intensive care specialist, said that if the room temperature is not maintained at 18-20°C, or if the temperature difference between the two rooms is >5°C, "take off your clothes and take a bath." Before and after, during sleep are all timing points of sudden death.

He also urged that in addition to keeping yourself warm in winter, you must also keep your room warm.

Huang Xuan posted on the Facebook page "Dr. Ooi Hean, Dr. Huang Xuan" to share that when the cold snap hits, many sudden deaths occur in the bed, bathroom, and room. Rapid changes, approaching death silently.

For every 1°C drop in room temperature, the chance of sudden death increases by 5.6%

Huang Xuan mentioned that low room temperature will increase the excitability of the body to stimulate the sympathetic nervous system and increase the secretion of catecholamines in the body, which will cause the body's blood vessels to constrict, blood pressure to increase, heart rate to increase, cardiac workload to increase, and oxygen consumption to increase. In severe cases, myocardial ischemia and hypoxia will lead to sudden death.

According to a Japanese study, when the room is always cold, blood pressure increases by 8.2mmHg for every 10°C drop in the morning.

If you continue to sleep deeply, the blood vessels in the heart will also tighten, and the heart's temporary load loss may lead to sudden death.

Another study pointed out that when the room temperature drops by 1°C, the probability of sudden death will increase by 5.6%.

Low room temperature increases blood thickness, which can easily cause thrombus

Huang Xuan further explained that low room temperature will also increase blood thickness.

According to medical research, blood draws prove that if the body is kept in a cold environment, selectin is more likely to adhere to the vascular endothelium; the increase in endotoxin induces the formation of thromboxane; the increase in thromboxane is prone to thrombosis.

In addition, the increase in blood thickness will increase the probability of blood vessel blockage in the body, and the continuous cold hypothermia will increase the thickness of metabolism by 60%.

Huang Xuan reminded that if the temperature of the room is not maintained at 18-20°C in winter, or the temperature difference between the two rooms is >5°C, one should pay attention to "undressing, before and after bathing, and during sleep", which may be the timing of sudden death.

He also urged that in addition to keeping yourself warm in winter, you must also keep your room warm.
