In particular in the elderly patient, exposure to heat can lead to disturbances of the circulatory system and of the water and electrolyte balance. Provided that certain prophylactic measures are taken, serious problems are unlikely to occur. Food and drink should be matched to the ambient temperature, and permanent medication should be checked. In the case of confused persons, nursing personnel should substitute for any failure to make the necessary acclimatization changes (appropriate clothing). In the case of incontinent patients, it must be remembered that the diapered area is not available for radiating off heat.
特别是老年患者，受热会导致循环系统以及水和电解质平衡紊乱。只要采取某些预防措施，就不太可能出现严重问题。食物和饮料应与环境温度相匹配，并且应检查长期服用的药物。对于意识不清的人，护理人员应弥补其未能进行必要的适应性改变（穿着合适的衣物）的情况。对于大小便失禁的患者，必须记住，使用尿布的部位无法散热。
