Rush to hot search

Zhejiang Hospital Sandun Campus

The emergency doctor said

It's true

It was just a few years ago

Dr. Ma Shuangshuang from the emergency department of Zhejiang Hospital, who treated this female patient at that time, said, "This mother is in her thirties. When she was sent over, she had no vital signs and her heart and breathing had stopped."

Dr. Ma recalled the scene at that time, "It was her husband who brought her here. She was a full-time mother who was taking care of her children at home, and her husband was working outside. The conditions at home were not very good, so she didn't want to turn on the air conditioning on hot days, so she turned on the fan to let the child blow. The child was still very young, and at that time, she might have been heatstroke at home, but there were only her and the child at home. It wasn't until her husband returned home at night that she realized she had fallen to the ground and couldn't get up."

At that time, the mother had already fallen into a deep coma. The doctor asked her husband why he waited so long to come? Her husband explained, "She's not afraid of heat on a regular basis." In the end, the doctors tried their best but were unable to turn it around.

On July 2nd, a tour guide in Beijing died due to ineffective rescue efforts for heatstroke. The tour guide who passed away was surnamed Gong. He was 49 years old, weighing about 200 pounds, and had no underlying diseases. Before his death, he just took a group to visit the Summer Palace for 2 hours. After returning to the hotel, the bus driver noticed that "Gong Ge" was in a very poor condition and had fainted. He called 120 emergency hotline. After being sent to the hospital, "Gong Ge" unfortunately passed away despite unsuccessful rescue efforts, and the cause of death was written as "heat stroke".

On June 17th, a car accident occurred in Taizhou, Zhejiang. The temperature inside the car was very high, and the driver shook while holding the steering wheel. There was no response to the call. Rescue personnel broke the car window to rescue the driver. According to doctors, working in a high-temperature and enclosed environment for a long time is very dangerous, and the most common harm is "heat stroke".

On June 16th, a 57 year old woman in Beijing experienced multiple organ failure due to heat stroke. Despite nearly 7 hours of rescue, she unfortunately passed away. The patient experienced symptoms of heatstroke such as dizziness and fatigue after returning home from outdoor activities with their children. They continued to stay in a stuffy and air-conditioned room, exposed to the sun, until they were "unable to wake up" before being discovered by their family, but it was too late.

8 Misunderstandings of Heat Shock Disease

Misconception 1

Heat stroke is heatstroke, which is not life-threatening.

Not right.

Heat stroke is the most severe type of severe heat stroke. Heat stroke is not simply causing an increase in body temperature, but rather producing a series of terrifying physiological reactions. Patients may experience multiple organ failure, central nervous system dysfunction, disseminated intravascular coagulation, and so on.

If not treated promptly and properly, the mortality rate of heat stroke is very high, with a common mortality rate of 50% -70%. For elderly patients over 70 years old, the mortality rate can reach as high as 80%.

Misconception 2

If you experience symptoms of heat stroke, simply cool down at home.

Wrong.

Once heatstroke reaches the stage of heat stroke, it is extremely dangerous.

When patients experience symptoms of heat stroke such as high fever, no sweating, blurred consciousness, seizures, or even no response, do not hesitate to call 120 in a timely manner and seek medical attention as soon as possible.

Misconception Three

Indoor, there will be no heat stroke.

Wrong.

Heat stroke is not exclusive to outdoor environments, and indoor environments with high temperatures and poor ventilation may also cause heat stroke.

Decoration workers and workshop workers who stay in enclosed spaces for a long time belong to the high-risk group of heat stroke;

Some elderly people living in old houses with poor ventilation and no air conditioning are also prone to heat stroke.

Misconception Four

If you don't engage in vigorous exercise, you won't get heatstroke.

Wrong.

Heat stroke can be divided into labor-intensive and non labor-intensive types, with the former referring to individuals who engage in intense summer exercise and high-intensity physical activity; The latter is commonly found in people with slightly weaker physical conditions such as the elderly, infants, and pregnant women.

In the summer of 2022, there was an incident in Shandong where postpartum women covered their heat during the confinement period and eventually died due to heat stroke.

Misconception 5

If the body temperature is not high, it is not heat stroke.

Not right.

Elevated body temperature is the main characteristic of heat stroke, and the core body temperature of patients is often above 40 ℃. The core temperature mentioned here is often reflected by the rectal temperature.

The axillary or ear temperature we measure daily can only be used as a reference and cannot be fully used as a basis for diagnosing heat stroke.

Misconception Six

Heat stroke only occurs in summer.

No, it's not.

Heat stroke is not exclusive to summer. Workers working for long periods in poorly ventilated high-temperature factories, firefighters facing raging fires, and even winter saunas may develop heat stroke.

Misconception Seven

Eating more cold drinks on hot days can prevent heat stroke.

Unhealthy.

The most important way to prevent heat stroke is to drink plenty of water, including white water, saline water, and beverages containing electrolytes such as potassium, sodium, and chlorine.

Eating a large amount of cold drinks can increase the burden on the digestive system. Alcoholic and high sugar drinks can cause the body to lose moisture and are not recommended for consumption.

Misconception 8

Women with weak physical constitution are more susceptible to heat stroke.

Not really.

Generally speaking, women have weaker heat adaptation abilities than men, but a large amount of clinical data shows that men have more heat stroke patients than women, which should be related to men engaging more in outdoor work and heavy physical activities.

Outdoor high-temperature workers, steelmakers, firefighters, athletes, and participating soldiers are all high-risk groups for heat stroke.
