A man from Fujian suffered from heat stroke and became a vegetative state and was admitted to the ICU. Doctor: The mortality rate from heat stroke is very high.

A man in Fujian unfortunately suffered from heat stroke and was in critical condition. He is currently receiving intensive care treatment in the ICU. According to the tragic description of his family, the patient has developed severe symptoms, including vomiting blood, incontinence of urine and feces, and has fallen into a vegetative state, which is extremely distressing.The doctor reminds,Heat stroke is an extremely critical type of heat stroke with a very high fatality rate.It is characterized by a sharp increase in body temperature, with the core temperature often exceeding the 40°C mark, followed by symptoms of severe neurological damage such as confusion, syncope, hallucinations and even convulsions.

Heat stroke not only threatens the central nervous system, but also widely affects multiple systems such as muscles, coagulation mechanism, liver and kidney function, respiratory and cardiovascular functions. It can easily induce multiple organ failure, and its mortality rate is horrifyingly high at 70% to 80%.

With such serious health challenges, prevention is key. For outdoor workers, effective protective measures must be taken to minimize direct sun exposure during high temperature periods (especially between 12:00 and 14:00 noon), and arrange work and rest time reasonably.Make sure to get enough sleep, and drink water frequently (preferably light salt water) to replenish body fluids lost due to heavy sweating and maintain water balance in the body.

At the same time, society should pay special attention to young children, pregnant women, the elderly and people with chronic diseases or low immune function, who are more susceptible to the effects of high temperatures. It is recommended that this group of people keep the indoor environment cool in hot weather, strengthen ventilation, abandon potentially misleading health concepts such as "excessive sweating in summer is good for health", "turning on air conditioning costs electricity" and "calmness naturally cools down", and actively take scientific cooling measures to protect their own health and safety.
