当前高温天气中，多地医疗机构接诊了多例热射病患者。热射病是最严重的中暑类型，致死率超过50%[1]。江苏南京一名74岁老人因在公园散步而患热射病，其核心温度达到40.4℃[1]；江苏常州一名46岁女性因长期居家不开空调而患热射病，并出现急性肾功能衰竭、无尿现象[1]。
医疗专家指出，居家老年人群是当前防控重点[1]。为预防热射病，医生建议不要等到口渴再喝水，应主动、多次、适量饮水[1]；身体活动应避开正午时段，选择清晨或傍晚进行[1]。
Medical facilities across multiple regions have admitted numerous patients suffering from heat stroke amid persistent high-temperature weather.[1] In Jiangsu Province, a 74-year-old resident from Nanjing contracted heat stroke while taking a walk in a park, experiencing a core body temperature that reached 40.4°C.[1] A 46-year-old woman from Changzhou, identified as Ms. Yu, developed the condition after spending extended periods at home without air conditioning and subsequently suffered acute kidney failure accompanied by anuria.[1]
Heat stroke represents the most severe form of heat-related illness, with mortality rates exceeding 50 percent.[1] Healthcare providers have identified elderly individuals living in residential settings as the primary population requiring preventive focus during the current heat crisis.[1] To mitigate risks, medical experts recommend proactive and frequent water intake rather than waiting until thirst develops, alongside timing physical activities to avoid midday hours in favor of early morning or evening exercise.[1] Temperatures exceeding 35°C have been predominantly concentrated across eastern and western regions of the country.[1]
