Living in the city, sunstroke is not a miracle. For those tourists who take advantage of the holiday to travel, often hike and climb mountains, but do not pay attention to heatstroke prevention and heat dissipation, heatstroke is still a frequent occurrence. In the travel area where you are not familiar with your life, you can learn about the first aid measures after heatstroke, so that you can rescue at the first time without being caught off guard. So how to give first aid to heatstroke in the wild?
People usually enjoy air conditioning in the office and outdoor during holidays Travel? The probability of heatstroke is also greatly increased when fully exposed to high temperature, hot sun and strong solar radiation. In addition, excessive fatigue caused by physical exertion such as long-term exercise and mountaineering can easily lead to heatstroke in an environment with poor ventilation and humid air if water is not replenished in time. Generally speaking, the higher the ambient temperature is, the more likely heatstroke will occur. When working or traveling in a high temperature environment, heatstroke can be avoided by wearing a hat, constantly replenishing body fluids, and keeping the environment ventilated.
When tourists feel sweating, thirst, dizziness, tinnitus, chest tightness, palpitations, general fatigue or elevated body temperature under high temperature and hot sun, they need to be careful, because it is likely to be the precursor of heatstroke. Generally speaking, the patient will recover quickly after timely treatment. Although these symptoms are not serious, some tourists insist on accompanying in order not to disappoint everyone, which is not advisable. Once it turns into severe heatstroke, the consequences are unimaginable.
In case of prodromal symptoms, on-site treatment is relatively simple. Leave the high temperature environment and rest in a cool place, but do not move the patient to an air-conditioned room where the temperature is too low. At the same time, 4 ℃ cold water or alcohol can be used to scrub, and evaporation can be used to take away heat to help cool down, or ice bags can be used to cool armpits, thighs and other parts. For sunstroke caused by direct sunlight, head cooling should be carried out, and ice packs can be used.
Replenishment of body fluid is another content of heatstroke first aid. It is better to add light salt water or cool drinks containing salt, and pay attention not to just drink plain water or distilled water, which may cause ionic disorder in the body.
What caught many people off guard was the fainting of heatstroke sufferers. Faint is not equivalent to severe heatstroke, so there is no need to panic. When the fainted person is breathing and heartbeat, he/she can press the acupoints such as Renzhong and Hegu (the tiger's mouth position), and generally he/she can wake up in a short time.
