Hot weather, heat shocks need to be vigilant

A few days ago, in the First Affiliated Hospital of China Medical University in Shenyang, a male worker in his 30s died of a fever. The worker, considering the heat of the day, deliberately worked at night for the night, and the next morning there was a fever-shooting symptom for medical emergency.

As of August 7, the Central Meteorological Observatory has issued high-temperature warnings for 25 days in a row. There are high incidences of heat-induced diseases in many places across the country, and there are many cases of invalid patients who have died.

High temperature weather causes frequent heatstroke

Frequent heat radiation is not unrelated to the current hot weather. The high temperature weather coverage is large, not only in North China, but also in the northeast, and even the northeast has not been spared. In some areas, there is even a weather approaching 40 degrees Celsius, and it lasts for a long time. Although the number of high temperature days has not been the highest in history this year, the lowest temperature is the highest since 1961, which means that the night temperature will not return to cool, which increases the degree of heat.

This hot weather has affected not only China, but also many countries in the northern hemisphere have been hot and hot, and the number of heat-emitting patients has also increased. Taking neighboring Japan as an example, according to the data of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, from April 30 to August 5, a total of 71,266 people in the country were treated for symptoms suspected of heat stroke and heat exhaustion, exceeding the previous record of 58,729 people. (From June 1 to September 30, 2013), nearly half of the patients were elderly people over 65 years old, and the number of deaths reached 138. In addition, more than 5,000 patients were admitted to medical institutions such as primary schools and kindergartens to feel unwell and seek medical treatment. According to data released by the Korea National Health Insurance Corporation, the country may have more than 20,000 people suffering from heat stroke this year, which is also the highest in recent years.

Among the patients with heat stroke, death cases are not uncommon. In Europe, the temperature in parts of the Iberian Peninsula has exceeded 40 degrees Celsius, and the Spanish emergency medical agency has reported that the number of deaths due to heat stroke in the country has risen to 10.

In fact, there are many patients with heatstroke in China this year. Chongzhen, the deputy director of the emergency department of the First Affiliated Hospital of China Medical University, told the media that for the past 30 years, "this year is the first time to experience such a concentrated first-aid heatstroke patient." In Shandong Jining alone, the city's 120 dispatching center has received 277 heatstrokes from Lixia to Liqiu.

It is very important to send medical treatment in time.

On July 24, after more than 30 hours of rescue, the 44-year-old security guard Wei of Shaanxi Xi'an Trade Center passed away. The death cause given by the hospital was “labor-type heat-radiation disease”, and the family members are currently applying for compensation for work-related injuries.

Severe heatstroke can lead to death. It is a fact that many people don't know. Many people did not rest in time after heatstroke, and the company failed to give the workers a holiday in time, which eventually led to the deterioration of the condition and the first aid.

According to the "Diagnostic Standards for Occupational Heatstroke" issued by the health department of our country, "excluding other similar diseases according to the occupational history of high-temperature workers (mainly refers to meteorological conditions at work) and the main clinical manifestations such as elevated body temperature, tendon or syncope. Can be diagnosed as occupational heat stroke."

Before high-temperature workers have heatstroke, there is a harbinger, that is, "after a certain period of labor in a high-temperature workplace, symptoms such as dizziness, headache, thirst, sweating, general fatigue, palpitations, inattention, and incoordination may occur. The body temperature is normal or slightly elevated." The diagnosis is divided into "slight heatstroke" and "severe heatstroke", "appears flushing, a lot of sweating, rapid pulse, etc., body temperature rises above 38.5 degrees Celsius" for mild heat stroke, while severe heatstroke is divided into heat shots. There are three types of illness, enthusiasm and heat exhaustion, and mixed types may also occur.

In an environment with high atmospheric temperature, high humidity and no wind, when working for a long time or strong physical labor, and there is no adequate heatstroke prevention and cooling measures, there is a lack of heat-radiation disease for those who are adaptable to high-heat environment, and there are often headaches before onset. Dizziness and fatigue. Initially a large amount of perspiration, and then "no sweat", the early affected organs are the brain, liver, kidney and heart, leading to damage to the nerves. As a fatal disease, the fever rate is higher. The enthusiasm is due to the sweating transition. After the salt is removed with the sweat, the limbs and abdominal wall muscle spasm occur. The heat exhaustion is caused by the high temperature caused by peripheral blood vessel dilatation and a large amount of water loss, resulting in reduced circulating blood volume and temporary intracranial blood supply. syncope.

In the case of severe heat stroke, the patient may have more than one of the above-mentioned diseases, and there may be a mixed type. No matter what kind of disease, you need to be sent to the doctor in time. Before sending the doctor, you can take off the patient's clothes, blow off the cool breeze and spray it with cold water or wrap the whole body with cool wet sheets to cool down.

Laborers need to report the case in a timely manner

According to the statistics of the emergency department of Beijing Friendship Hospital, this year's heatstroke patients have certain characteristics. "The situation of heat stroke among the elderly is decreasing. Now with the popularization of residents' health knowledge and the improvement of living conditions, the elderly who are bedridden due to poor ventilation or no air conditioning at home are more likely to suffer from heat stroke. The more rare it is, the Wang Guoxing, director of the emergency department of the hospital, told the media.

There is air conditioning in the home, and the school is also on holiday. The heat stroke of the elderly and children has been reduced, and the number of young and middle-aged children with heatstroke indoors and outdoors has increased. The 4 critically ill patients admitted to the ICU in the Friendship Hospital are all young and middle-aged, with physical labor as the mainstay. The age is between 40 and 55 years old. The cause of heatstroke is high temperature working environment, and 2 of them are chefs. At present, among the cases of heat-shooting diseases announced by medical institutions in various places, there are also many young workers who are physically active.

Heat-borne diseases are classified into "labor-type heat-radiation disease" and "non-labor-type heat-radiation disease". The latter are more common in urban elderly and depressed residents living in crowded and poorly ventilated areas, including high-risk groups including schizophrenia and Parkinson's disease. Chronic alcoholism and patients with hemiplegia or paraplegia because these people are inconvenient to move. The labor-type heat-radiation disease that caused the death of the 44-year-old security guard in Xi'an is more common in healthy young adults. Due to the high temperature and humidity of the working environment, the heart rate is accelerated, which can reach 160-180 beats/min, and the pulse pressure increases. This type of patient can have rhabdomyolysis, acute renal failure, liver failure, disseminated intravascular coagulation or multiple organ failure, with a high mortality rate.

Workers who suffer from heat-induced illness due to high-temperature operation or high-temperature weather operations are entitled to occupational injury insurance benefits after being diagnosed as an occupational disease. Therefore, once a worker suffers from other illnesses or accidents caused by heat stroke, it is necessary to report the case in time and save the evidence. In addition, there is no heat stroke in nighttime work, because reinforced concrete buildings have higher specific heat capacity and thermal conductivity, and absorb more heat during the day and dissipate at night.

In order to avoid heat stroke, doctors reminded that heavy physical workers should rest in a cool place after working for a period of time, properly add water and salt, and employers should also provide shade space and corresponding beverages as much as possible. In the case of mild heat stroke, such as headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, or even fever, first use ventilation, cool down, use air conditioner, fan to cool down, and drink a cool drink. Usually, people with mild heatstroke can relieve themselves. However, if you have a high fever of 40 degrees Celsius, convulsions, disturbance of consciousness, and mental dysfunction, you should promptly send it to the hospital for treatment, so as not to delay the illness.
