Please note
"Hot to death" is no joke.
Recently, many hospitals have received cases of heat stroke . What exactly is heat stroke? Heat stroke is when the human body is exposed to a high temperature environment for a certain period of time, and the body's temperature regulation function fails, causing the body to heat up. The general temperature is around 40°C, and then the functions of various organs of the body are disordered, and the heart may even fail. The patient has symptoms such as shock , which is called heat stroke.
The cause of heat stroke is that high heat and high temperature environment lead to the imbalance of body temperature regulation function. In the classification of heat stroke, "heat stroke" is severe heatstroke.
It is important to prevent heat stroke!
Heat stroke is mainly to prevent heatstroke. Try to avoid long-term heavy physical labor in high temperature and high humidity environments. Corresponding measures can be taken to promote body heat dissipation.
(1) Maintain natural ventilation indoors and bring light salt water when going out. The light salt water preparation method is to add 1/2 spoon of salt to 1 liter of water and mix it with water. Drink it every 15 minutes, 3 to 4 cups a day.
(2) Take a bath with warm water when you get home. You can use Huoxiang Zhengqi water , Fengyoujing and other medicines to wipe it and evaporate the heat.
(3) If colds, diarrhea, fever, etc. occur, especially the elderly, they should seek medical treatment in time. Children should avoid being alone in cars or small spaces.
(4) Wear loose, light-colored, breathable clothes as much as possible in the hot summer. When active in the sun, wear a wide-brimmed sun hat and use sunscreen.
(5) Try to reduce outdoor activities in hot weather and avoid being exposed to the sun for too long between 11:00 and 15:00.
(6) Improve the living environment for the elderly and frail, patients with chronic diseases and puerperal women.
(7) Improve working conditions in high-temperature environments and drink more potassium, magnesium and calcium salt heatstroke prevention drinks with an osmotic pressure of 200mOsm/L.
(8) After recovering from heatstroke, patients should avoid strenuous activities in the sun for several weeks.
Once the following symptoms appear, it means that heat stroke symptoms are likely to be life-threatening:
Dizziness, pulsating headache, nausea, extremely high body temperature (oral body temperature greater than 39.5°C), red, hot and dry skin without sweating, intolerance to cold, rapid and heavy weight pulse, confusion, slurred speech, unconsciousness, etc..
During the treatment and rescue process of heat stroke, patients should be quickly moved to a cool and ventilated environment. The patient was then cooled down, given fluids, and electrolytes were replenished to rescue the organs. Dial 120, 110, etc. in time for more guidance and help.
