Do you know that you will get heatstroke if you don't open the doors and windows indoors?

After several days of high temperature, the reporter visited many hospitals in the city and learned that the total number of people suffering from heatstroke was relatively flat compared with that in July this month due to the hot weather, but interestingly, outdoor heatstroke is understandable, but there are quite a few people suffering from heatstroke indoors. Why is this happening? The reporter immediately conducted an investigation.

Major hospitals frequently treat indoor heatstroke patients.

12 At noon, Uncle Liu, 78, who lives in Xiling District, suddenly felt dizzy and weak at home, and immediately called 120 for help. After the doctor of Gezhouba Central Hospital arrived at the scene, he found that the doors and windows (door and window decoration renderings) in his home were closed, and he was diagnosed as heatstroke. He immediately gave oxygen treatment and opened the window for ventilation. After a while, Grandpa Liu's condition improved. Only after asking did I know that Grandpa Liu was unwilling to turn on the air conditioner because of saving electricity, and he closed the doors and windows for fear that the hot air outside would blow into the house too hot. Who wants to be fainted by the heat?

Coincidentally, 1 1 That afternoon, 47-year-old Master Wang was eating in a small restaurant in Gezhouba. Master Wang was sweating because the air conditioner was not turned on in the restaurant. Before the meal was finished, he felt dizzy and flustered and his hands and feet began to twitch. The restaurant owner quickly dialed 120, and the emergency doctor of Gezhouba Central Hospital made a house call for rescue. After a night of observation and treatment, Master Wang was discharged from the hospital on the morning of 12.

The reporter learned from many hospitals, such as the Central Hospital, the Second Hospital of the City, and the Gezhouba Central Hospital, that indoor heatstroke cases are almost the same as outdoor heatstroke cases. Zhou Jingmei, the dispatching department of Yichang Emergency Center, also said that it was ok some time ago, but since the 9th, patients with heatstroke have been given first aid every day, some at home and some outdoors.

Indoor heatstroke is mostly caused by improper heatstroke prevention.

In Yiling Square and other places, the reporter interviewed dozens of citizens randomly. Everyone knows that this hot weather is easy to cause heatstroke, but few people know about indoor heatstroke. Many citizens think that fans can be used to turn on the air conditioner at home, and generally they will not suffer from heatstroke.

"The public's awareness of heatstroke prevention is still relatively strong." Bo Shunqing, deputy director of the emergency department of Yichang Central Hospital, said that the main crowd of outdoor heatstroke is outdoor workers, such as construction workers. Indoor heatstroke is more likely to "invade" the elderly and infirm, and it is easy to be ignored.

According to experts' analysis, outdoor heatstroke is mostly caused by carelessness, while indoor heatstroke is caused by improper heatstroke prevention. Wu Shuo, the head nurse of the emergency department of Gezhouba Central Hospital, found that almost all the elderly who suffered from indoor heatstroke were closed, which was very sultry. "Some elderly people don't go out or open windows on a hot day. The room is hot and stuffy, and they drink less water. When they sweat too much, they will quickly evaporate the water in the human body, which is easy to suffer from heatstroke due to excessive body temperature. If the elderly are alone at home and not found in time, severe indoor heatstroke will also be life-threatening. "

In addition, in order to prevent heatstroke and cool down at home, the air conditioning temperature should not be too low. If it is too low, it will overheat after going out. Once you don't adapt to the temperature difference between "ice and fire", you will easily faint from heatstroke.

Indoor and outdoor heatstroke prevention is equally important.

In response to the prevention and treatment of heatstroke, Zhou Jingmei, chief of the municipal emergency center, analyzed that most patients with heatstroke are elderly people. Its constitution is weaker than that of young people, and its heat resistance may be worse. She suggested that outdoor workers and the elderly and infirm should pay attention to heatstroke prevention when going out. They should avoid long-term activities in the scorching sun, drink plenty of water, have more rest, and prepare some pills and Huoxiang Zhengqi water. For heatstroke prevention and cooling at home, the air conditioning temperature should not be too low, so pay attention to ventilation. Bo Shunqing, deputy director of the emergency department of Yichang Central Hospital, also said that during the high temperature period from 10 to 4 pm, you should try to turn on the air conditioner or electric fan even at home. Diet should tend to be light and drink plenty of water.

Experts also said that heatstroke also has initial symptoms, such as thirst, dizziness, sweating, chest tightness, palpitation, fatigue in high temperature environment, etc., all of which may be heatstroke. At this time, it is necessary to leave the high temperature environment and ventilate to cool down, such as opening doors and windows, wiping with cold water to cool down, and drinking salt water or boiled water. If the symptoms cannot be relieved after taking these measures, you should go to the hospital as soon as possible. Otherwise, it will be serious to fever, limb convulsions, coma and shock, improper handling, untimely birth and even death.
