The number of people suffering from heat stroke is rising

Recently, the county hospital of traditional Chinese medicine has experienced a round of heat stroke emergency peak, and more than 10 cases of heat stroke have been admitted one after another. Among them, 7 cases were hospitalized with severe heat stroke. After active treatment, they have all been cured and discharged from the hospital.

Chen Shaojun, director of the emergency department of the county hospital of traditional Chinese medicine, told reporters that the elderly with underlying diseases and chronic diseases are more likely to suffer from heat stroke; Being outdoors in the open air for a long time, direct sunlight is easy to cause heat stroke; Indoor areas with high temperature, high humidity, and poor ventilation are also places prone to heat stroke, and they need to be paid attention to.

What is heat stroke

It is understood that heat stroke is a common manifestation of the disease in a high-heat environment in summer, and it is more likely to occur in the case of a high-humidity environment. The symptoms of heat stroke are divided into precursor heat stroke, mild heat stroke, and severe heat stroke, among which severe heat stroke includes heat cramps, heat exhaustion and heat stroke. Patients with premonitory heat stroke may experience symptoms such as headache, dizziness, thirst, excessive sweating, difficulty concentrating, and uncoordinated movements; Mild heat stroke can manifest as symptoms such as increased body temperature, flushing, profuse sweating, palpitation, and decreased blood pressure. Severe heat stroke is very dangerous, and when excessive electrolytes are lost due to sweating due to physical exertion, symptoms of convulsions and cramps of the limbs, i.e., heat cramps, and heat exhaustion, may occur. In addition to the above symptoms, vomiting, extreme weakness or tiredness, temporary fainting and other manifestations may occur; Heat stroke is the most dangerous severe heat stroke, if the patient continues to be exposed to high temperature and humidity, the human body temperature regulation function is impaired, the skin no longer sweats, the body temperature rises rapidly, more than 40 °C, and is accompanied by skin burning, consciousness disorders (such as delirium, convulsions, coma) and other serious clinical syndromes of multiple organ system damage. "The case fatality rate of heat stroke is quite high, and when you find yourself or someone else suffering from heat stroke, taking the right emergency measures as soon as possible can greatly reduce the discomfort caused by heat stroke and even save lives."

How to deal with heat stroke

Chan Siu-chun reminded the public that patients with pre-cursor heat stroke or mild heat stroke should move to a ventilated and cool place as soon as possible and take cool electrolyte drinks or light salt water, as well as Huoxiang Zhengqi water, ten drops of water and other traditional Chinese medicines with heatstroke relief effects. When you find that there is a severe heat stroke patient around you, you should immediately move the patient to a cool place, and find ways to reduce the patient's body temperature as soon as possible, such as applying ice packs or wet towels to the head, neck, armpits, etc., and call 120 to send the patient to the hospital for professional treatment at the same time.
