What would the treatment be for heat stroke? |
Cool casualty immediately by— - Moving him to a cool, shady area or improvising shade if none is available.
- Loosening or removing his clothing (except in a chemical environment).
- Spraying or pouring water on him; fanning him to permit the coolant effect of evaporation.
- Massaging his extremities and skin, which increases the blood flow to those body areas, thus aiding the cooling process.
- Elevating his legs.
- Having him slowly drink at least one canteen full of water if he is conscious.
