Sunburn and Heat Stroke Treatment
Treatment to minimize disruption
There are a number appropriate measures to help solve the disruption from the heat in a person:
- Lower body temperature by moving to the shade or a cool and calm.
- Keep your head high and try a little jog wet clothing or placing cold compresses on the head.
- Moisturizes doing a lot to drink water, but only if he is conscious.
- If it were necessary, seek medical help.
Photoprotection
Despite awareness campaigns and improved sunscreens, it remains to solve the problem of application of sunscreens.
The application should be half an hour before exposure and must be given very generously, evenly and with dry skin. Then the process must be reapplied at least every two hours and reapply every time we take a bath.
Collotype
The characteristics of the skin does not only reduce fat condition parameters, dry or normal. A more important aspect is the sensitivity of each person and their skin to the sun, which is what is called phototype. Each person has a different solar capital, ie support more or less of the sun.
The most important thing is to know how to tan and burn each person. There is a gradation that divides this quality into six types, from I to VI. The lowest corresponding to the lighter-skinned people and the highest they do with darker skin.
Ultraviolet by location
Ultraviolet rays do not cause the same effect in all parts of the world or uniformly at all hours of the day. The deterioration of the ozone layer in the middle and high latitudes has increased the atmospheric situation and has caused people and the environment we are currently higher levels of radiation.
To provide other relevant information for photoprotection created the UV Index (UVI), which is the average estimate of maximum solar ultraviolet radiation on the surface of the earth.
The UV Index is measured in ranges:
- Exhibition floor: Values between 1 and 3
- Medium Exposure: Values between 4 and 6
- High Exposure: Values between 7 and 9
- Extreme Exposure: Values above 10
After seven children, people with fair skin or the elderly should be more careful in the presentations and should not go at noon
