Kaj naj storim, če je termofor pri nizki temperaturi opečen?

When the weather gets cold, many people put a hot water bottle in their bed when they sleep. After a deep sleep, because the skin is not sensitive to temperature, it "sticks" to the hot water bottle for a long time and does not change position. After waking up, blisters are found. Zhang Jue introduced that such a burn is a "low temperature burn".

According to experts, people who are scalded by low temperature are generally those who sleep more at night or those who feel sluggish. Low-temperature scald does not appear to be serious on the surface, and the blisters that appear on the scald start not to hurt, but it is actually a "third-degree scald", which is more difficult to recover than an acute scald. If the electric hot water bottle is not handled properly, it will fester, and some will not heal for a long time.

Zakaj se lahko termofor opeče, če ni vroč na dotik? Strokovnjaki so pojasnili, da lahko dolgotrajna-izpostavljenost viru toplote 40 stopinj - 50 stopinj povzroči opekline pri nizki temperaturi. Če se za eno minuto dotaknete temperature 70 stopinj, se lahko koža opeče; ko je koža v stiku s temperaturo skoraj 60 stopinj več kot pet minut, lahko povzroči tudi opekline. To pomeni, da višja kot je temperatura in daljše trajanje, hujša je opeklina. Poleg termoforjev, grelnikov za roke, električnih odej in grelnikov ventilatorjev lahko vsi povzročijo opekline pri nizkih temperaturah.

Strokovnjaki opozarjajo: nekateri bi morali biti previdni s toplo vodo

Since the beginning of winter, many people are accustomed to using a hot water bottle to keep warm at night, especially the elderly, women and children. What should I do in the event of a "low temperature burn"? According to Zhang Jue, first wash the scalded area with a cool towel or cold water to achieve the purpose of cooling, and then seek medical attention in time. Never use soy sauce or toothpaste to smear the scalded area, which may easily cause infection of the scalded area.

Strokovnjaki opozarjajo, da pri uporabi grelnika za ogrevanje obvezno zategnite pokrov, ter grelnik pokrijte z zaščitnim pokrovom, da voda ne izteče in se opeče. Upoštevajte, da temperatura vode ne sme biti prevroča, čas ne sme biti predolg, termofor pa naj bo nameščen 10 cm ob stopalih. Pred spanjem ga položite v odejo in ga pred spanjem vzemite ven. Starejši ljudje, ki trpijo za sladkorno boleznijo ali posledicami možganske kapi in so dolgo prikovani na posteljo, naj ga uporabljajo previdno.
