First Aid - Heat stroke |
| Treatment |
|
Cool the body of a heatstroke victim immediately.
If possible, put him in cool water; wrap him in cool wet
clothes; or sponge his skin with cool water, rubbing alcohol, ice, or cold packs.
|
 |
Once the victim's temperature drops to about 101 F, you may
lay him in the recovery position in a cool room.
If the temperature begins to rise again, you will need to
repeat the cooling process.
If he/she is able to drink, you may give him some water.
Do not give a heatstroke victim any kind of medication.
You should watch for signs of shock while waiting for
medical attention.
