SunstrOke and Heat Stroke
by DIR. NORRIS FIsHBEIN
Of the Journal of American Medical Association.

IT the temperature of the patient
Is low, hot applications should be
placed around the arms and feet
so as to restore the circulation and
keep the patient warm. If the pa
TENTS temperature is at all high,
on the contrary, he may be put into
tub OF cool water; his head should
be supported by cushions an. the
body should be vigorously rubbe 4
The temperature usually remains
more or less stationary and then falls
rapidly. AS soon as the patient S
temperature has fallen as low as 10l
degrees he should be taken out Of the
tuD and kept warm. II is well in
every serious case to obtain medical
advice Immediately, as il may be
necessary to give medication for the
care of the heart and the falling cir
cula ton.
Frequent Cool Baths Urged.
Ordinarily the ice bath should not
be continued longer than from
twenty to forty minutes, but it may
be repeated after an interval Of three
or TOUR hours, if the temperature
should rise again. If the patient's s
temperature is not so high or if the
bath is impracticable, he may be
placed on cot over which a rubber
blanket has been spread, wrapped in
sheet Wrung out of cold water and
then rubbed with ice. Sometimes il
is possible to sprinkle the body with
cold water and then to direct an cleo
trio fan over il SO as TO cause rapid
evaporation of the water and, conse-
quently, cooling of the body
In view of the fact that there is
usually an accumulation of acid
products in the system, many physi-
clans give alkaline fluids and reme-
dies.
After a person has suffered either
from heat exhaustion or from heat
fever, he may be especially likely to
have another attack. He should
avoid. as far as possible, oyerheate ed
rooms and exposure to the direct
rays Of the sun during the summer.
He should take frequent cool baths
during the summer months, should
dress lightly and drink plenty of
water. He should avoid indulgence
in alcoholic and fancy drinks.
When there is an excess of mois-
ture in the air-When the humidity
is high-the precautions should be
doubled, for it is excess of humidity
that is largely responsible for delay
ing evaporation of water from the
surface of the body.
