In recent days, the whole country seems to have entered into high temperature weather. In addition to high temperature, with high humidity, it is easy to have heatstroke and even heat radiation disease in this sultry weather. Therefore, for those who work outdoors, they must supplement water in time and do a good job in heatstroke prevention.
In recent days, the hospital has admitted many patients who were hospitalized due to heatstroke. In the intensive care unit of the emergency department of Fuzhou General Hospital, Xiao Chen, a 20-year-old patient, was still unconscious. According to the doctor, on July 4, when he was engaged in outdoor activities in a high temperature environment, Xiao Chen suddenly fainted to the ground and was found by his companion and sent to the hospital in time.
Zhang Wei, director of the emergency department of Fuzhou General Hospital, said: 'when the patient came to our rescue, he was still in a coma state. When the temperature was measured, the temperature was more than 40 degrees, and there were paroxysmal convulsions. According to his medical history and his clinical manifestations, we can judge whether he was suffering from heat radiation disease. '
After rescue, Xiao Chen's condition was controlled, but there were multiple organs damaged. Doctors said that this was mainly the sequelae caused by the heat radiation disease.
According to Zhang Wei, director of the emergency department of Fuzhou General Hospital, warm up disease is a serious life-threatening heat injury disease, with a mortality rate of 70% to 80%. In addition to the high fever, convulsions and consciousness disorders at that time, multiple organ failure such as liver function, renal function failure and disseminated blood vessel coagulation will occur later. '
In addition to Xiao Chen, more than 20 heatstroke patients have been admitted to Fuzhou general hospital due to the influence of high temperature in recent years, among which six are suffering from heat radiation disease. Doctors said that these patients are engaged in outdoor activities when the attack, in the occurrence of heat radiation disease, the general patient will have symptoms of heatstroke.
Zhang Wei, director of the emergency department of Fuzhou General Hospital, said: 'for example, if the temperature exceeds 30 degrees and 70%, the risk of heatstroke will be higher. The early symptoms of heatstroke are headache, dizziness, nausea, palpitation and fatigue in high temperature environment, including unclear consciousness and so on. So it is very important for us to get out of this high temperature environment at the first time, go to a cool and ventilated place, loosen the clothes button and replenish the water in time. '
Doctors remind that in the process of water replenishment, we should not rush to replenish a large amount of water. If the patient has no consciousness and does not advocate water replenishment, in order to avoid airway obstruction or vomiting and suffocation.
