根因分析
将冷水敷在额头和胸部会触发皮肤血管收缩,减少散热,并可能引起寒战,产生代谢热,加重高热;正确方法是全身浸泡在凉水(非冷水)中。
English
Applying cold water to the forehead and chest triggers cutaneous vasoconstriction, reducing heat dissipation, and may cause shivering which generates metabolic heat, worsening hyperthermia; the correct method is whole-body immersion in cool (not cold) water.

-
Immerse the heatstroke victim in a tub of cool water (15-20°C or 59-68°F) up to the neck, ensuring the whole body is submerged. If no tub, pour cool water over the entire body and fan vigorously to promote evaporative cooling. Monitor core temperature with a rectal thermometer and stop cooling at 38.5°C (101.3°F).
-
If immersion is not possible, use cold wet towels over the entire body (not just forehead/chest) and replace them frequently. Fan the victim with a large fan or improvised board. Avoid alcohol rubs which cause vasoconstriction.
无效尝试
常见但无效的做法:
-
Applying ice packs to the forehead and armpits
85% 失败
Intense cold causes vasoconstriction and shivering; ice packs can cause frostbite on damaged skin; core temperature drops too slowly
-
Spraying the face with a mist of cold water
90% 失败
Evaporative cooling is minimal on forehead; does not address core hyperthermia; may cause aspiration if patient is unconscious
