Don't pay attention to it, maybe it's a heat stroke

Light is nausea and vomiting, and threatening life in the same time

Please collect this summer heat protection guide

Notice! Error first aid

Not only is it counterproductive, but there are other hazards

1. There is nothing to help

The root cause of heat stroke is that the human body heat production and heat dissipation balance is seriously disordered. Therefore, the first thing we need to do is to cool down and get out of the heat source. Among the people can only play a role in stimulating pain, it is no different from the thighs and cannot be used for first aid. Especially for the coma patients, sometimes it may even cause misconduary suffocation due to pain stimulation, but there is a potential risk of worsening condition.

2. Drink cold water and beware of "water poisoning"

It is necessary to replenish reasonable hydration after heat stroke, but it is not recommended to drink a lot of cold water. Because a large amount of sweating will be accompanied by the loss of electrolytes, if it is only a large amount of cold water at this time, it will cause the human body to have diluted hyponatremia, which is commonly known as "water poisoning", which may cause brain edema in severe cases. At this time, drinking water should be a small amount and multiple times. Drinking it separately. Adding salt properly will have a better effect.

3. Huoxiang Zhengqi water may increase dehydration

First of all, Huoxiang Zhengqi water is mainly used to solve the surface of wetness, qi and qi, and the cold caused by the cold, internal injuries, or summer wounds, which is the heat injury. Second, the alcohol content of Huoxiang Zhengqi water water It is 40%-50%, which may cause severe dehydration after taking, and heatstroke damage will be more serious.

4. Take antipyretic medicine is counterproductive

The mechanism of heat stroke is different from the fever caused by bacterial or virus infections. The heat caused by heat stroke is because the heat of the body's heat dissipation center is accumulated in the body, and the heat cannot be distributed by sweating. The antipyretic drugs are mainly used to achieve the purpose of cooling through the body. After the heat stroke, the antipyretic medicine will be counterproductive. Therefore, the preferred physical cooling after heat stroke.

The correct way to deal with heat stroke

1. Quickly stay away from the high temperature environment

Support the patient to the nearby windy and ventilated place, and move it to the air -conditioned room if possible. Until his clothes and raise his feet at the same time, which will help increase the blood supply in the patient's brain, and at the same time play a role in heat dissipation.

2. Replenish water in time

If the patient consciousness is awake, you can drink some light saline. However, it should not be too much water, otherwise it will cause discomfort such as abdominal pain, vomiting and nausea. It is not appropriate to drink coffee or alcoholic beverages. Those who have been unconscious, do not feed water forcibly, so as not to cause airway obstruction or vomiting suffocation.

3. Quickly cool down

In the armpit, head, and groin arteries, you can use ice packs or ice cubes to cool down. You can also use medical alcohol and warm water to wipe the whole body repeatedly, and then use a fan or electric fan to take blow air heat dissipation, but pay attention to moderate. It can also perform skin muscles and muscles to accelerate blood circulation to promote heat dissipation. When the patient's body temperature drops below 38 ° C, it is necessary to stop the mandatory cooling methods such as blowing and cold water.
