It is understood that in the past week, the emergency department of Sandun Hospital of Zhejiang Hospital has received many cases of heatstroke every day. I once treated a female patient with heatstroke in her thirties. It was hot, so she refused to turn on the air conditioner and let the children blow the fan. As a result, she suffered from heatstroke. When her family found that she had fallen into a deep coma, it was too late to return to heaven.
Let's start with simple science. What is heatstroke? To put it bluntly, it is severe heatstroke. Heatstroke can generally be divided into three grades: mild heatstroke, moderate heatstroke and severe heatstroke. Heatstroke belongs to severe heatstroke and heatstroke plus! It has exceeded the physical load and will be in danger at any time. Because heatstroke is a fatal emergency, if it is not treated properly in time, the mortality rate may be as high as 70%-80%. How terrible!
We should know that heatstroke does not happen suddenly, but develops slowly from mild heatstroke, from initial sweating, nausea and dizziness to rapid heartbeat and vomiting, and finally develops into heatstroke. There are problems with the whole body function, leading to coma and abnormal liver function. Due to the imbalance of the body's regulatory function, heat production >: heat dissipation, excessive heat accumulation in the body, will cause damage to nerve organs, and even lose life. So "hot death" is not a joke, it is true! If we intervene in mild heatstroke, we can prevent it from developing into heatstroke.
Heatstroke and heatstroke can be distinguished. Compared with common heatstroke, heatstroke mainly has three typical symptoms:
High body temperature
Touch each other's temperature, you will feel hot! Because at this time, ta's body temperature has been ≥40℃, which is far from the normal person's body temperature, so as long as you touch each other, it is easy to judge.
Easily
That's right. People suffering from heatstroke don't sweat as much as those suffering from mild to moderate heatstroke. The reason is that heatstroke leads to the failure of sweat gland function of ta, and it can no longer secrete sweat, indicating that there is something wrong with the body function, and it can't emit heat through sweating like normal people, which leads to the accumulation of heat in the body, and the whole person feels "steamed".
unconsciousness/unconscious
At this time, people suffering from heatstroke have begun to feel confused. Imagine what it's like to have a high fever. The symptoms of heatstroke are similar to those of high fever, but more serious. Some people will twitch, others will faint directly, and there is no response because of high blood pressure and difficulty breathing. If not handled in time, the parties may have seen too much milk floating over. ...
As the weather gets hotter and hotter in summer, the high temperature record is also rising, and high-risk groups are more prone to heatstroke, such as workers who work outdoors for a long time, people who stay in closed spaces (including cars) for a long time, the elderly, the infirm/children/women/pregnant women, and people suffering from chronic diseases, especially cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, should pay special attention!
Heatstroke can be prevented, so I suggest you give priority to prevention. Please refer to the preventive measures ~
Try to avoid high temperature and high humidity environment. If it is inevitable because of work needs, you should also pay attention to sun protection measures, pay attention to rest and replenish water. If you wear a hat outdoors, you should always take it off and breathe. It is recommended to bring things that can prevent heatstroke and cool down, such as wind oil essence and Huoxiang Zhengqi water, in case of emergency.
Drink more water! In hot weather, the human body loses water quickly, so it is necessary to replenish water in time and drink a few times at regular intervals. You can't drink a lot of water at once. In summer, you can also drink more drinks to cool down, such as light salt water, electrolyte water and mung bean soup.
Pay attention to ventilation. Don't try not to turn on the air conditioner just to save a little air conditioning fee, it's not worth the candle! Doesn't mean you won't get heatstroke indoors. Indoor small environment with poor ventilation and high temperature may also lead to heatstroke, so we must pay attention to ventilation and cooling. It is best to turn the air conditioner to about 26℃.
In order to cope with emergencies, let's learn about the emergency treatment measures for heatstroke patients so as not to be in a hurry.
Timely transfer &; Reduce the temperature
Move the patient to the shade at the first time and quickly cool the other person. You can take off your clothes, blow with a fan, wipe your body with cold water and other methods to quickly cool each other down. If the temperature drops to 38.5℃, you stop cooling, and then cooling may lead to hypothermia.
Don't irrigate
Many people will fall into a misunderstanding, thinking that the other person has heatstroke, but needs water to supplement. This view is wrong? Because at this time, the patient has begun to be unconscious, and you can't give ta water at all. If the water is forcibly discharged, it may make the other person vomit and even lead to suffocation.
Keep the right posture.
In a cool and ventilated place, it is best to keep the patient lying on his side with his head slightly tilted back to ensure the unobstructed respiratory tract and prevent aspiration and suffocation caused by vomiting. If the other party does not respond and the heart stops, correct cardiopulmonary resuscitation should be performed immediately.
The most important thing is to call 120 for first aid, and pay attention to the patient's temperature changes. I hope everyone must have a sense of protection in the hot summer! Take protective measures to prevent heatstroke from coming to you. As for turning on the air conditioner and fan, there is really no way to save some money. ...
