If your child plays outdoor sports, it's important to make sure their body doesn't get too warm. 急诊室医生 Dr. 特洛伊马德森 talks about the difference between heat exhaustion verses heat stroke. 了解什么是中暑, 它是做什么的, 的症状, and what to do if your young athlete appears to have it.

事件记录

面试官: It seems like unfortunately every year you hear a story about a student athlete, a young athlete getting heat stroke, getting really sick or dying at times. 作为孩子的父母, 也许, a young athlete that's in a summer program or football training camp for the fall, 即使在八月. What should you look for and what should you know, what would you want that person to know?

Dr. 马德森: 这是个好问题, 你知道夏天的孩子, 正如你提到的, are in a lot of sports camps and if you're a kid in a sports camp, the number one thing you want to do is impress the coach. That's what you're trying to do, you know. So you're getting out there and even if you're feeling 头昏眼花的, 你还在逼自己, you want to look like you're working hard and that's where kids really run into problems, and I think that's where you can really see some issues with heat stroke and heat exhaustion, are kids who are really trying hard, 外面是华氏100度, 他们在踢足球, 他们穿着护垫, 不管是什么情况.

So the number one thing to watch for is let our kids know if t嘿're feeling 头昏眼花的, 如果他们感到头晕, to sit down and take a break because those are the first symptoms of heat exhaustion, as t嘿 start to feel nauseated, 头昏眼花的. If t嘿 get to a point where t嘿 feel like t嘿're passing out, if t嘿 look to you like t嘿're just not responding well, that's when it becomes really serious and we get really concerned.

面试官: And hopefully a coach recognizes that as well and is not going, Madsen, man up.

Dr. 马德森: 完全. Hopefully coaches are aware of it, 但你也得想清楚, 这些教练有30个, 40, 有50个孩子. T嘿 can't watch every one and know exactly what t嘿're feeling so, 是的, 希望他们知道, 但绝对是孩子们, t嘿 need to let the coach know when t嘿're 只是感觉不太对劲.

面试官: Is there anything that would tell me that maybe my kid might be more or less susceptible to heat exhaustion, or heat stroke as somebody else, 我的意思是, 这因人而异吗?

Dr. 马德森: There's definitely some variability's. Certainly if you've got a little more weight, 如果你再重一点, that's going to increase your risk of heat exhaustion or heat stroke. If you've had problems in the past, that's something to be aware of as well. 很明显, depending on the type of sport the child is participating in and if t嘿're wearing a lot of pads, 经常锻炼, 做很多短跑, things like that where t嘿're getting their body temperature up, those are situations where you need to keep a close eye on them as well.

面试官: 好吧, what do I do if I suspect heat exhaustion, 也许大发娱乐应该说, what's the difference between heat exhaustion and heat stroke, 我该怎么办呢?

Dr. 马德森: Yeah, so that's a great question. So that question often comes up, what is heat exhaustion mean, what is heat stroke? So heat exhaustion is when your body temperature gets up, I think we've all experienced that, 你头昏眼花, 有点恶心, 只是感觉不太对劲. Heat stroke is when it gets dangerous, we're talking body temperatures of about 105 degrees and in that situation we're often times seeing people pass out, 他们反应迟钝. That's when t嘿're at risk for organ failure and that's when it gets very serious, 所以一旦它达到这一点, 甚至是头晕, 头晕, 到阴凉处去, 试着冷静下来, 喝点水, try and get that person cooled down with a fan, something to try and get the body temperature down.

面试官: 把水倒在他们头上, is that fine?

Dr. 马德森: 当然,绝对. 把水倒在他们头上, you know one thing you can do to really get the body temperature down quickly is with ice packs. Don't put ice directly on the skin but if you've got it in some sort of a pack you can put it in the arm pits, there's a lot of blood flow through there so you can get the body temperature to cool down fairly quickly, and if it's really serious where t嘿're just not responding to you, 如果他们很困惑, in that situation I'd get them to the hospital. Call 9-1-1 and make sure you get help for them.

面试官: It's nothing to mess around with at that point.

Dr. 马德森: 完全. Once t嘿're not responding or t嘿're just not very responsive to you then it's much more serious.

面试官: Should you 宁可谨慎,也不要犯错 if you have a question?

Dr. 马德森: 绝对, 宁可谨慎,也不要犯错, you can always call the EMTs there, 他们可以看一看, t嘿 may even check their body temperature, see how t嘿're looking and maybe say, 嘿, 他是好的, probably doesn't need to go to the hospital, 但肯定, 尤其是在运动营中, 宁可谨慎,也不要犯错.
