High temperature and heat, how to prevent "thermal radiation disease"

The high temperature of Sanfu Tian continued, and patients with "heat irritation" appeared in many places. What is this disease? How to prevent it? A few days ago, Wang Junyi, director of the emergency department of the Elderly Hospital of Sichuan Province (Provincial Five Hospital), introduced in an interview with the Evening News reporter that thermal radiation disease is the most serious severe heat stroke. Except for outdoor workers under high temperature and high humidity, In addition to the high -risk population of the disease, it is also necessary to be alert to thermal radiation disease caused by improper evolution of ordinary heat stroke.

Thermal radiation is severe heat stroke

Severing heat stroke is mainly divided into the following three levels: mild heat stroke, which is known as thermal cramps in medicine; moderate heat stroke, known as thermal failure; severe heat stroke, is called thermal radiation disease. Thermal radiation disease is generally manifested as high fever, and its body temperature can reach above 40 ° C. It will affect the function of various organs and tissues of the whole body. Patients will experience local muscle spasm, high fever, sweatless, dry mouth, and difficulty breathing.

Four categories are high -risk groups of fever irritation

Patients with fever are divided into classics and labor types. The classics usually do not have severe physical activity, while the labor type is mainly due to high -intensity physical activity that causes the body to produce heat and heat dissipation imbalance.

The following four types of people are high -risk groups of thermal radiation disease. They must be particularly careful: ① The elderly who have insufficient body temperature regulation and accompanied by basic diseases; Double children; ③ persons who need to be at high temperature environment for a long time, such as outdoor traffic police and epidemic prevention personnel; ④ personnel who perform strenuous exercise at high temperatures, such as firefighters, construction workers.

Full hydration is the key to prevention

In the final analysis, fever is the disease that is "hot". Drinking plenty of water is the simplest and convenient prevention method. Whether it is indoors or outdoors, the amount of exercise, consciously increase the intake of moisture in summer. Do not wait until your mouth is dry and drink water.

In the selection of beverages, it is recommended to use electrolytes such as water, saline or potassium sodium. If you sweat more, the water is mainly low salt and low sugar liquid. Patients with diabetes should pay special attention to blood glucose monitoring.

Reminder: Once you encounter heat stroke or fever, stop any activities immediately and rest in a cool and ventilated environment; then put wet cold towels, ice packs under the head, underarms, neck and other parts for cooling. If the patient's limb convulsion phenomenon, don't put anything in the patient's mouth. If the patient continues to vomit, the head should be biased towards one side to ensure that the respiratory tract is smooth, and immediately call 120 to the hospital for treatment.
