The environment can have a profound impact on human performance. Over the past decade there has been considerable interest in the scientific study of the human ability of to protect oneself against heat and cold. This new knowledge has led to a better understanding of physiology and resulted in better prevention, recognition, and treatment of hyperthermia, hypothermia, and frostbite. This article reviews the pathophysiology of extreme environmental exposure and discusses current strategies for prevention and treatment.
环境可对人类的表现产生深远影响。在过去十年中，人们对人类抵御炎热和寒冷能力的科学研究产生了浓厚兴趣。这一新知识增进了对生理学的理解，并在高温、低温和冻伤的预防、识别及治疗方面取得了更好的成效。本文回顾了极端环境暴露的病理生理学，并讨论了当前的预防和治疗策略。
