HAIER PORTABLE AIR CONDITIONERS WITH REMOTE CONTROL

Know the difference between Heat Exhaustion and Heatstroke. These are both dangerous and potentially life threatening to the elderly.

HEAT EXHAUSTION is when the body overheats in high temperatures and/or high humidity, causing a form of mild shock. A rapid pulse, intense sweating, nausea, headache, dark urine, pale and/or flushed skin and feeling faint are some of the symptoms of heat exhaustion. To treat it, get the person to a cooler place and apply cool, wet cloths to the face and body. Have the person drink cool water slowly every fifteen minutes. Watch the person carefully for signs of heat stroke.

HEATSTROKE occurs when the body's temperature reaches 104 degrees Fahrenheit or above. It is severe and life-threatening. It's typically caused by exertion in hot weather and dehydration. Some signs of heatstroke include rapid heartbeat, hot red skin, absence of sweating, dizziness, headache, nausea, irritability or confusion. Older adults may also experience fainting. If any of these symptoms are suspected, call 911 immediately. Then move the person to a cooler place, immerse in a cool bath or wrap him/her in wet sheets. Watch for breathing problems. If he/she has changes is levels of consciousness, refuses water or is vomiting, do not give him/her anything to eat or drink. While mild dehydration can be treated by rehydrating with fluids, heatstroke is more serious. If you have heatstroke, you need to go to the emergency room or dial 911 immediately so you can have intravenous fluids. With really bad heatstroke, your kidneys can shut down so don't take these symptoms lightly!
