What are the hazards of heatstroke?

The hazards of heatstroke mainly include the following aspects: 1. Imbalance of body temperature regulation: This leads to elevated body temperature, which may exceed 40°C, causing symptoms of high fever. 2. Nervous system damage: High body temperature may damage the brain and spinal cord, causing dizziness, headache, fatigue, and even impaired consciousness, convulsions, and coma. 3. Water and electrolyte disturbances: Excessive sweating causes loss of body fluids and electrolytes (such as sodium and potassium), leading to dehydration and electrolyte imbalance. Severe cases may result in hemoconcentration and kidney function impairment. 4. Multi-organ failure: In extreme cases, heatstroke may cause failure of multiple organs including the heart, kidneys, and liver, endangering life. 5. Heat cramps and heatstroke: Heatstroke may trigger muscle spasms (heat cramps) and severe heatstroke (heatstroke), the latter being characterized by high body temperature and loss of consciousness, requiring urgent medical treatment. The dangers of heatstroke involve multiple aspects including body temperature regulation, the nervous system, water and electrolyte balance, and multi-organ function, and can be life-threatening in severe cases. Therefore, prevention of heatstroke is crucial, and prompt medical attention should be sought if symptoms occur.
