Measures to prevent heat stroke in the wild and key points for emergency treatment afterwards

When summer comes, we must do better to protect ourselves from the sun and take some measures to prevent heatstroke, especially what emergency treatment methods should be taken after heatstroke occurs, especially after it happens outdoors. So below I will tell you about the prevention measures for heatstroke in the wild and the key points of emergency treatment afterwards. Please pay attention to this knowledge.

When outdoor athletes go to the mountains and fields, they often run wild and chase things, and are exposed to the strong sunlight for a long time. The heat in the body cannot be fully dissipated, causing the body temperature to rise. The temperature regulation center in the brain is damaged and stops functioning. This is heatstroke. Those who suffer from heatstroke will suffer from headaches, high fever, vomiting or fainting, and sometimes death. Therefore, those who engage in outdoor activities must pay attention to prevention and first aid. It is best to wear a sun hat and avoid exposure to the sun for too long. In case of heat stroke, first aid should be sought immediately to avoid death from exhaustion. First, move the patient to a cool area, loosen or take off his clothes, and let him lie comfortably with something to elevate his head and shoulders. Next, cover his head with a cold, wet towel. A water bag or ice pack would be even better. Soak a sponge in alcohol or a towel in cold water and use it to wipe the body. Try to fan it to lower its body temperature to normal. Finally, measure his temperature or observe the patient's pulse rate. If it is below 110 beats per minute, it means the temperature is still tolerable. If it reaches above 110, stop using various cooling methods. After observing for about 10 minutes, if the temperature continues to rise, start cooling again. After regaining consciousness, provide salt water to drink, but no irritants. In addition, coverings are provided depending on the patient's comfort level.

Because the weather is generally hot in the summer, you may get heatstroke indoors, and you are more likely to get heatstroke during outdoor activities. Therefore, prevention and treatment methods before and after heatstroke are very important. I hope everyone can read carefully the heatstroke mentioned above, outdoor prevention measures, and subsequent emergency treatment points. This article is very useful.
