■如果发生严重的职业性热相关疾病,护理人员援助可能无法立即获得。工人的生存可能取决于他们的同事获得有效的基于现场的冷却方式。一种声称在基于现场的设置中实用的冷却方法是冰巾方法。
■本案例研究评估了冰巾方法在工业环境中的实用性,其中使用标准包括成本效益,便携性,可扩展性,并由一名工人在紧急情况下实施。
■本案例研究描述了在等待护理人员时使用冰巾方法的紧急应用,对于一名在远程工作现场遭受疑似劳力中暑的工人。
■冰巾能够被运送到偏远的现场,并由一名工人在可能危及生命的紧急情况的压力下成功应用。
■冰巾方法具有成本效益,可扩展,可运输,并迅速应用于基于现场的紧急情况。本案例研究证明了组织评估其热相关风险的重要性,并根据其独特设置的有效性和实用性来确定控件。
UNASSIGNED: In the event of a severe occupational heat-related illness, paramedic assistance may not be immediately available. A worker\'s survival may depend on their co-workers access to efficacious field-based cooling modalities. One cooling method that has been claimed to be practical in field-based settings is the ice towel method.
UNASSIGNED: This
case study assessed the practicality of the ice towel method in an industrial setting, where criteria for use include cost effectiveness, portability, scalability, and implementation by a single worker under the stress of an emergency.
UNASSIGNED: This
case study describes the emergency application of the ice towel method while awaiting paramedics, for a worker suffering suspected exertional heat stroke on a remote job site.
UNASSIGNED: Ice towels were able to be transported to a remote field site and applied successfully by a single worker under the stress of a potentially life-threatening emergency.
UNASSIGNED: The ice towel method was cost effective, scalable, transportable, and rapidly applied in a field-based emergency. This
case study demonstrates the importance of organizations assessing their heat-related risks, and determining controls based upon their efficacy and practicality for their unique setting.
