Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention introduced that the influencing factors that cause death from high temperature and heat stroke include environmental factors, location factors and individual factors. It is recommended to identify the symptoms of heatstroke, deal with it properly as soon as possible, pay attention to high temperature warnings, and protect special groups. For details, see ↓
Environmental factors
daily average number of deaths was significantly positively correlated with the extreme maximum temperature during the heat wave period.
Site factors
Among them, the indoor ambient temperature and the living environment have a greater impact. All indoor heatstroke deaths reported in Shanghai have no air conditioning in their residences, or they have air conditioning but are not used.
Individual factors
Pregnant and childbirth, people with heart and brain and respiratory diseases are more likely to have heat stroke, and people who lack basic protection knowledge for high temperatures have a higher risk of heat stroke.
It should be noted that most of the onset dates of deaths are in the late stage of the heat wave. Because of the long-term high temperature weather, the heat accumulation in the body cannot be released. If you really can't resist it in the later stage, you will easily die of heat stroke. Judging from the high temperature this year, anti-heat and cooling measures will continue for some time.
recognizes the symptoms of heatstroke and deals with it properly as soon as possible
Generally speaking, the abrupt heatstroke and mild heatstroke are cured well and will not cause serious consequences to the human body. Among severe cases, only heat spasm cases have better prognosis after timely treatment. If heat exhaustion and heat stroke are caused, the possibility of death is higher.
Therefore, it is recommended that if you experience dizziness, headache, general fatigue, palpitations, , inattention and other precursor heatstroke symptoms, you should promptly get out of the high-temperature environment and take on-site cooling measures. If you have symptoms of severe heatstroke such as unclear consciousness and convulsions, you should seek medical treatment/sent to the hospital in time.
pay attention to high temperature warnings, protect special populations,
Pay attention to the high temperature warning prompts issued by the meteorological department, carry out health education for places and groups that need special attention, and provide convenience for preventing heat and cooling, including: airports, stations, construction sites, and regular nucleic acid sampling points and other key places.
key groups such as outdoor workers, front-line medical workers/volunteers, traffic auxiliary police, and the elderly.
Key groups in the community such as elderly, living alone, being sick, and living difficulties.
