Recently, the Hunan Meteorological Observatory issued a high -temperature red warning, and the temperature in Changsha continued to increase. In the hot summer, high temperatures not only make people feel tormented, but also easily cause heat stroke, and even lead to fever. Some people will have heat stroke without the sun. What is going on? Experts with Hunan Traditional Chinese Medicine tells you the reason and response.

The emergency department of the hospital recently accepted a 76 -year -old anechetic patient. When he arrived at the hospital, his body temperature had reached 40 ° C and his heart rate was as high as 160 times/minute. Tian Zheng, deputy director of the emergency department, led the medical staff to immediately start the first aid. After about half an hour, the patient gradually opened his eyes, shouted to respond simply, and his body temperature dropped to 38.3 ° C.

Further inspection results found that the elderly's heart, lungs, liver, and kidneys, etc., were severely damaged. The elderly did not engage in physical labor and did not go out to the sun. How could he get fever? The patient's family introduced that it turned out that even if the temperature was high, the elderly did not turn on air conditioning or fan, which led to severe heat stroke.

What is thermal radiation disease

Wen Aizhen, director of the emergency department of Hunan Traditional Chinese Medicine, introduced that thermal irritation is severe heat stroke. In the high temperature and high humidity environment, heatstroke is characterized by body temperature regulating central function disorders, sweat glands failure, and excessive hydrolated electrolyte.

According to the pathogenesis and clinical manifestations, severe heat stroke can be divided into: heat cramps, heat failure, and fever. Among them, thermal radiation disease is the most serious, and it has extensive damage to the body, which can lead to multi -organ dysfunction. The mortality rate is more than 60%.

Thermal radiation disease is divided into two types: labor type and non -labor type. Non -labor types are more common in patients with old age, children and chronic basic cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Even if you do not go out to the sun, due to the high temperature of the living or working environment, your body temperature adjustment dysfunction is reduced, resulting in reduced heat dissipation, and it may cause heat irritation.

How to prevent heat stroke

1. Replenish water in time

Drink plenty of water, do not wait for thirst and drink water. After a large amount of sweating, drink appropriate amount of saline water. Drink less alcoholic drinks and high sugar drinks to avoid making the human body lose more water.

2. Correct outdoor activities

In the hot season, you usually wear sun hats, solar umbrellas, and sunscreens when you go out. It is best to apply sunscreen with condition. Travel should avoid the time around noon.

When engaged in outdoor activities or exercise, slow down, slowly adapt to the change of temperature, and then increase the amount of exercise to enhance the body's ability to adapt to the environment.

3. Reasonable living and diet

Ensure sufficient sleep, avoid staying up late, and arrange the schedule reasonably. Light diet, eat high oil and high -fat food, reduce the intake of human body heat.

Drinking mung bean porridge in summer can play a role in clearing heat and cooling heat. Bitter gourd and bitter tea are all superior foods for summer heatstroke. In addition, loofah, cucumber, cantaloupe, grapes, bananas, tomatoes and other foods are also a good choice.

The correct way to deal with heat stroke

Wen Aizhen reminded that if a heat stroke signs occurs in the wild, the patient should be moved to a cool place to avoid direct sunlight; if it is in a closed room, the ventilation should be strengthened, and the patient will be moved to the air conditioning place when there is conditions.

The treatment of heat stroke is to quickly reduce the body temperature of the patient. It can be applied to the patient's head, neck, underarms, and thigh nests with cold towels; Enter the underwater and protect the respiratory tract to prevent mistakes and drowning. At the same time, the patient's limbs and whole body are constantly massaged, and blood circulation is strengthened; you can use cold water to add electric fans to blow air to quickly cool down.

For severe heat stroke, dial 120 in time and send the patients to a regular hospital for treatment as soon as possible. In addition to taking cooling measures, if the patient is unconscious, you can use your thumb or index finger to pinch the "people in the middle" acupoint, and according to the "Hegu" acupoint, you can wake up.
