The key to maximize the chances of surviving exertional heatstroke is rapidly decreasing the elevated core body temperature. Many methods exist to cool the body, but current evidence strongly supports the use of cold water. Preferably, the athlete should be immersed in cold water. If lack of equipment or staff prevents immersion, a continual dousing with cold water provides an effective cooling modality. We refute the many criticisms of this treatment and provide scientific evidence supporting cold water immersion for exertional heatstroke.
将中暑幸存者的存活几率最大化的关键在于迅速降低升高的核心体温。有多种方法可用于给身体降温,但目前的证据有力地支持使用冷水。最好将运动员浸入冷水中。如果缺乏设备或人员而无法进行浸泡,持续用冷水浇淋也能提供一种有效的降温方式。我们反驳了对这种治疗方法的诸多批评,并提供了支持冷水浸泡治疗中暑的科学证据。
