If any further advices for Summer Health Care, please do not hesitate to let us know. 一、Five Don'ts in summer health care １、Do not replace the plain boiled water with beverage. Beverage will make a bad difference on stomach and affect digestion and appetite.Drink more plain boiled water and tea in summer. ２、Do not take cold shower after sweatiness.If so ,you may feel giddy,swimming,resistibility declines and then catch a cold.You'd better make yourself sweaty ,then adopt some refrigerant measures. ３、The diet should not be too light . In summer, the human body losses a large number of body fluids, takes various kinds of nutriment away, we should eat fresh and cool food besides a lot of water, also should eat more food high in protein content ,for instance chicken , duck , muscle ,etc. ４、It is unsuitable to wear too deep or too light sunglasses. Dark color will affect eyesight because of unclear eyesight; Light color can not resist ultraviolet ray which can damage your eye through lens. So,you must select optimal sun lens (Gray or green will be better). ５、Siesta time should not be too long.If too long, the brain nerve center will be suppressed,the flow of blood of the brain will be reduced correspondingly,and the internal supersession slows down gradually.After your siesta you will feel more uncomfortable and sleepy all over the body. So, the best siesta time is 1 hour. 二、Common sense of first aid 1、 Heart disease：Help patient who has been cured by doctor to take medicine ,ask for medical treatment for one never been cured.You'd better not transport patient , lie him during coma , run up his feet, and the head and chest if breathe rapidly and give heart massage and artificial respiration if necessary. 2、Apoplexy：Try to seek medical advice at once, but don't move patients or offer any diet without indication.Lie the patient flat , if difficult in breathing, lateralize his head to make the secretion out. 3、Heatstroke：Move the patient to a cool place, lie him head up, untie the collapsible button, rub the body with cool towel ,then send to doctor for treatment . 4、 Traumatism：First stop bleeding, prevent shock . Do pay attention to pollution to the wound.If injured in head,keep unshakable,lie the patient lateralize with head up. You'd better cold compress the head and cervix,then send urgently for treatment. 5、 Fracture：Lie the wounded flat , do not make the disjunction emphatic.Stop the bleeding first , fix the injury with plank wood and bandage, send to doctor for treatment promptly . 6、Scald：Wash or soak in the clean cold water at once.Daub with the petrolatum, lard or the rape oil wrap with clean cloth(keep the water blister unbroken)and send to doctor for treatment for light patient.For heavy patient ,wrap with clean cloth and coverlid and send to doctor for treatment promptly . 7、Shock：Lie the patient flat with head slightly low ( heads up for persons who have difficulty in breathing ), untie the collar button, keep warm (can't too warm to sweat ), send to doctor for treatment if necessary. 8、Electric shock：Make yourself insulating first, cut off the power , untie the wounded's clothes .Prevent the patient from cold and artificial respiration if necessary . 10、Worm in ear：Let the ear face bright place or drip glycerol or sewing machine oil in the ear,the worm will get out voluntarily. 11、Eyewinker：If it can be seen,mop it away with clean handkerchief,never knead the eye.If it can not be seen,wash it with salt water.Send to doctor for treatment if can not be removed |

Got it, a good post.. May I up it again? But for me, there are many new words, such as Apoplexy,Traumatism.... Therefore, I'd better memorize more and more words.........., or I can not read "Moon" 's post,,  so bad.... My private experience: If you hike within 2 days in Guangdong ,I think you'd better wear "100% Cotton" clothes. A quick-dry clothes is not breathable and can not absorb your sweat, and it's only designed for your long hiking trail. Of course, you must backup your "100% Cotton" clothes in your pack, or you'll catch cold when you stop your step.... "Pause" ---------------------------------------- |

Copy from "月" and thanks. Medical Care for Heatstroke (by Robert S helman) Heatstroke is a medical emergency. Rapid reduction of the core body temperature is the cornerstone of treatment because the duration of hyperthermia is the primary determinant of outcome. Except for the mildest cases, patients diagnosed with EHS or NEHS should be admitted to the hospital for at least 48 hours to monitor for complications. Once heatstroke is suspected, cooling must begin immediately and must be continued during the patient's resuscitation. Controversy still exists over what therapeutic modality is most effective in the treatment of heatstroke; however, the basic premise of rapidly lowering the core temperature to about 39°C (avoid overshooting and rebound hyperthermia) remains the primary goal. Some recent studies have shown that promptly reducing the exposure time to excessive heat can dramatically improve long-term outcomes and decrease irreversible injury. However, to date, no controlled studies have compared the efficacy of the various cooling methods on time or outcome. Removal of restrictive clothing and spraying water on the body, covering the patient with ice water–soaked sheets, or placing ice packs in the axillae and groin may reduce the patient's temperature significantly. Patients who are unable to protect their airway should be intubated. Patients who are awake and responsive should receive supplemental oxygen. Intravenous lines may be placed in anticipation of fluid resuscitation and for the infusion of dextrose and thiamine if indicated. Hypoglycemia is a common occurrence in patients with EHS and may be a manifestation of liver failure; therefore, infusion of dextrose 50% in water solution (D50W) should be considered in all patients with heatstroke. · Intensive care personnel must pay meticulous attention to the airway, reduce the temperature, limit the production of heat, optimize circulation, and monitor for and treat complications. o Insert a thermistor probe to monitor temperature continuously. o Insert a nasogastric tube to monitor for gastrointestinal bleeding and fluid losses. o Place a Foley catheter to monitor urine output. · The goal of treatment is to reduce the temperature by at least 0.2°C/min to approximately 39°C. Active external cooling generally is halted at 39°C to prevent overshooting, which can result in iatrogenic hypothermia. o Place a flexible indwelling thermistor rectally or an esophageal probe to monitor core body temperature during treatment. o Because thermal instability may persist for a few days after the onset of heatstroke, the temperature must be monitored continuously until it is stable. · The optimal method of rapidly cooling patients is a matter of debate; each method has its own theoretical advantages and disadvantages. o Ice-water immersion or an equivalent method is an extremely effective method of rapidly reducing core body temperature and traditionally was the most frequently recommended method. The increased thermal conductivity of ice water can reduce core body temperature to less than 39°C in approximately 20-40 minutes. The practice has been criticized recently. Theoretically, the ice water, which may be extremely uncomfortable to patients who are awake, can cause subcutaneous vasoconstriction, preventing the transfer of heat via conduction. Ice water also increases shivering, which in turn increases internal heat production. Other reasons for the recent criticisms include difficulty monitoring and resuscitating patients. o Recently, evaporative techniques have been touted to be as effective as immersion techniques without the practical difficulties. However, data on the efficacy of this method are limited. Evaporative body heat loss may be accomplished by removing all of the patient's clothes and intermittently spraying the patient's body with warm water while a powerful fan blows across the body, allowing the heat to evaporate. o A number of other cooling techniques have been suggested, but none has proven superior to or equal to cold-water immersion or evaporative techniques. These include peritoneal, thoracic, rectal, and gastric lavage with ice water; cold intravenous fluids; cold humidified oxygen; cooling blankets; and wet towels. o In the most severe cases, cardiopulmonary bypass has been suggested, but this requires highly trained personnel and sophisticated equipment. o Antipyretics (eg, acetaminophen, aspirin, other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents) have no role in the treatment of heatstroke because antipyretics interrupt the change in the hypothalamic set point caused by pyrogens. They are not expected to work on a healthy hypothalamus that has been overloaded, as in the case of heatstroke. In this situation, antipyretics actually may be harmful in patients who develop hepatic, hematologic, and renal complications because they may aggravate bleeding tendencies. o Dantrolene has been studied as a possible pharmacological option in the treatment of hyperthermia and heatstroke, but at present, it has not been proven to be efficacious in clinical trials. ---------------------------------------- |

 Supplement Don’t trace brook in rainy date which will cause debris flow or landslide. Drizzle date will also be dangerous for it is going to turn into stormy one. While climbing , don’t forget to have a look at those trees or flowers for they will soothe your fatigue. Be careful for your body reaction in every moment while you decide to have a try on crossing endless and shadeless mountain ridges in summer for they can be fatal to let you fall into dehydration or heatstroke. Don’t swim in unfamiliar brook pond for they may look shallow in clear water but actually very deep and will swallow you by causing clonus (for the brook water usually is cold) or attacked by unawared water creature.
