에어컨 없는 실내가 야외보다 위험, 의식 흐려지면 냉각부터 [MBN 뉴스센터]

【 Anchor Comment 】 As the heatwave intensifies, there are growing concerns about heat-related illnesses such as heatstroke and heat exhaustion. These are acute conditions caused by exposure to high temperatures, and people often think of outdoor workplaces like fields, farms, or construction sites. However, it is said that during times as hot as these, unair-conditioned indoor spaces are actually more dangerous than the outdoors. Reporter Choi Eun-mi explains. 【 Reporter 】 ▶ Standing: Choi Eun-mi / Reporter "People usually think that heatstroke occurs outdoors under blazing sun, but that is a misconception. A significant number of urban heatstroke patients develop the condition after staying indoors for extended periods without air conditioning." Typical examples include slum areas and indoor workplaces such as interior construction sites. This is because unair-conditioned indoor spaces are typically up to 2 degrees higher than the outside temperature. Unlike simple exhaustion, heatstroke is a condition where body temperature skyrockets to over 40 degrees Celsius, and if emergency treatment is delayed, it can be fatal. When the indoor temperature rises, core body temperature increases, causing central nervous system function to deteriorate and consciousness to begin to fade. ▶ Interview: Park Jun-beom / Professor, Department of Emergency Medicine, Soonchunhyang University Seoul Hospital "It is not simply a rise in body temperature; a systemic inflammatory response occurs throughout the entire body. That is why it progresses to multiple organ failure..." If a patient develops this condition, 'cooling' is the priority. You must continuously spray cool water over the entire skin and use a large fan to send strong airflow across the body to lower body temperature. Soaking a large towel in ice water and applying it to as large an area of ​​the skin as possible is also a method to quickly lower body temperature. The Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency emphasized, "Simply turning on a fan or applying a cold towel is insufficient," adding, "You must take all possible measures simultaneously to ensure the body temperature drops below 39 degrees within 30 minutes."
