根因分析
劳力性中暑（核心体温>40°C伴中枢神经系统功能障碍）需要快速降温，但冰水浸泡可引起外周血管收缩、寒战（产生热量）以及在易感个体中引发心律失常；盐片禁忌使用，因为中暑常伴有因饮水而不补充电解质导致的低钠血症，给予盐可能加重电解质失衡；冷水浸泡（10-15°C）并持续监测比冰水（0-5°C）更安全。
English
Exertional heatstroke (core temp >40°C with CNS dysfunction) requires rapid cooling, but ice water immersion can cause peripheral vasoconstriction, shivering (which generates heat), and cardiac arrhythmias in susceptible individuals; salt tablets are contraindicated because heatstroke often involves hyponatremia (low sodium) from water intake without electrolytes, and giving salt can worsen electrolyte imbalance; cold water immersion (10-15°C) with continuous monitoring is safer than ice water (0-5°C).

-
Cool the victim using cold water immersion (10-15°C, not ice water) in a tub or trough, continuously stirring water to prevent warm boundary layer; monitor core temperature (rectal preferred) and remove from water when temp reaches 38.9°C (102°F)
-
If immersion is not possible, use cold water dousing (pour cool water over the victim) combined with fanning to maximize evaporative cooling; place ice packs on neck, armpits, and groin (large blood vessels)
-
Do not give anything by mouth if victim is confused or unconscious; call emergency services immediately; while waiting, cool the victim using any available method (mist + fan, cold wet towels changed frequently)

常见但无效的做法:
-

Assume 'ice cold is best' because faster cooling is always better; but ice water causes shivering (increases heat production) and may trigger arrhythmias in dehydrated, hyperthermic patients
-
85% 失败
Think salt tablets replace electrolytes lost in sweat; but heatstroke often involves hyponatremia (sodium dilution) from drinking water without electrolytes, and additional salt can cause dangerous hypernatremia
-

Believe oral rehydration is sufficient for severe heatstroke; but heatstroke patients may have altered mental status, impaired swallowing, and risk of aspiration — IV fluids are needed
