Can I apply ice after heatstroke? What should I pay attention to after heatstroke?

What should I do if I go out to play heatstroke with my friends? Should I just put ice on my body or do something else? What should I pay attention to after heatstroke?

Can I use ice after heatstroke?

Heatstroke, due to long-term exposure to high temperature environment, makes the body temperature regulation function abnormal, causing a lot of heat to accumulate in the body, which can be manifested as chest tightness, palpitation, flushing, burning skin, sweating and pallor. Severe cases have symptoms of respiratory and circulatory failure, such as decreased blood pressure and weak and fast pulse. People who encounter heatstroke can apply ice. Lift the patient to a ventilated, cool and dry place, make him lie on his back and unbutton his clothes, loosen or take off his clothes. If the clothes are soaked with sweat, you should change them. At the same time, use a fan to help dissipate heat, apply a cold water towel to your head or put ice cubes on your head, armpits and groin, and massage your limbs hard, and drink cold drinks or light salt water.

What should I pay attention to after heatstroke?

Patients with heatstroke should drink a small amount of water many times, and it is advisable to drink no more than 300 ml each time. In addition, you can't eat a lot of cold fruits and vegetables after heatstroke. Most patients with heatstroke have weak spleen and stomach and eat a lot of cold food. In severe cases, symptoms such as diarrhea and abdominal pain may occur.

Should I wear more clothes or less clothes after heatstroke?

According to the specific work to determine:

First, you should wear loose and breathable clothes.

Workers who work in a hot environment or engage in heavy physical labor can wear loose clothes such as cotton and silk, which are helpful for ventilation, so that the airflow outside the skin can accelerate the evaporation of sweat and lower the body temperature.

Second, if there is radiant heat, it is more appropriate to wear woolen clothes.

Wear woolen clothes when working near radiant heat sources (such as boilers and ovens) or in environments above 35℃, because woolen clothes can reflect radiant heat and help to cool down. In hot weather with strong sunshine, outdoor workers can wear wool hats to keep cool and reduce the risk of heatstroke and occupational diseases.

Third, wear light-colored clothes for outdoor work.

When working outdoors in high temperature, you should wear light-colored clothes, because light-colored clothes can reflect heat more than dark clothes.

In hot weather with direct sunlight, you can wear a wide-brimmed hat, which can block the sunshine on your head, face and neck. If you need to wear a helmet, you can add light-colored cloth pieces on both sides and back of the hat to block the sun for the whole neck. Note: What is added to the helmet cannot affect the structure of the hat, so don't use glue or drill holes.

Four, the environment above 35℃, should wear more clothes to cover the skin.

There is usually a thin layer of air on the skin surface. When the ambient temperature is higher than the skin temperature (the skin temperature is usually around 35℃), this thin air forms a protective film to prevent the skin from directly contacting with the outside hot air. At this high temperature, if there is a fan or air flowing, it will blow away this protective air and expose the body to the hot air outside. This is convection heating (convection oven can heat food faster, which is based on this principle). Wearing thin loose clothes helps to keep this layer of protective air. For example, people living in desert areas will cover themselves with clothes from head to toe, which is precisely why.

Five, wear special personal protective equipment-heat protection clothing.

Some working environments are overheated. Even strong and adaptable workers have to rely on personal temperature control equipment to work in this environment for a long time. In extremely hot environment (such as next to the oven), workers usually need to use special heat protection clothes for high temperature operation; This kind of heat protection suit can also be used in a moderately hot environment, and workers can persist in working for a longer time.

Whether it is necessary to wear special heat protection clothes or choose what kind of heat protection clothes, it is necessary to make a detailed assessment of the working environment to determine. Moreover, heat protection clothing can't prevent the harm of high-temperature operation, so both employers and workers must know the effectiveness of the product (in what temperature range, how much it can be cooled, how long it can last, and so on). Workers must be trained and dressed according to the manufacturer's instructions to avoid danger.

Thermal protective clothing is mainly divided into two categories: temperature control clothing, radiation protection warm clothing or reflective clothing. Temperature control clothing includes air-cooled clothing, water-cooled clothing, and ice-cold vest (there are certain restrictions in actual use). Radiation-proof warm-keeping or reflective clothing is suitable for workers working near radiation heat sources (which cannot be covered and isolated). There are aprons, coats, and clothes covering the whole body from neck to toe, which can only defend against radiant heat and have little effect on defending against high temperature air unless the clothes also have temperature control devices.

How is one cold and one hot after heatstroke?

From the clinical point of view, heatstroke is an acute disease characterized by dysfunction of central nervous system and/or cardiovascular system, which is caused by dysfunction of thermoregulation center, sweat gland failure and excessive loss of water and electrolyte. And heatstroke has different severity according to everyone's situation. The most serious heatstroke is called heatstroke, which is a very easy disease to cause death. Some friends feel hot and cold in hot outdoor weather. Is this heatstroke? If you feel that when the weather is cold and hot, you are sunbathing outdoors, then you are likely to get heatstroke. At this time, it is necessary to move to a cool place as soon as possible, and at the same time, drink more water and replenish more water to avoid heatstroke.
