Heatstroke Symptoms and Management Measures

The symptoms of heatstroke are related to the severity of the condition and can be categorized as follows: 1. **Early-stage heatstroke**: Symptoms include dizziness, headache, thirst, excessive sweating, and weakness in the limbs. Body temperature may be normal or slightly elevated. 2. **Mild heatstroke**: Body temperature rises above 38°C, accompanied by flushed face, hot skin, nausea, vomiting, and cold, clammy extremities. 3. **Severe heatstroke**: Body temperature may exceed 40°C, with symptoms including absence of sweating, confusion or coma, muscle spasms, and convulsions. In severe cases, it may lead to multiple organ failure. Management of heatstroke includes: 1. **Rapid cooling**: Move the person to a cool, well-ventilated area, loosen clothing, and apply cool, wet cloths to the body or immerse in cool water. 2. **Rehydration**: Encourage consumption of salt-containing fluids or diluted salt water to prevent dehydration. 3. **Monitor condition**: If symptoms are severe, seek immediate medical attention and inform the doctor of the heatstroke incident. Key preventive measures for heatstroke include avoiding prolonged exposure to high-temperature environments, staying hydrated, and protecting against sun exposure.
