"Inadvertently heating" Air conditioner operation Attention to heat stroke by pressing mistake August 28 14:45
In the midst of severe heat, when using an air conditioner indoors, an elderly person accidentally turned on the remote control to heat up and fell asleep, and there was a case where he was transported to an emergency due to heat stroke. I am calling.
According to the Yokohama City Fire Bureau, of the 247 people who were categorized as "unused/breakdown of air conditioner" out of the total of 247 people who were transported indoors due to heat stroke since May this year. This means that there are cases in which the air conditioner is used incorrectly, such as heating up.
According to Dr. Hideki Taniguchi of the Saiseikai Yokohama City Eastern Hospital, in mid-August, an elderly couple in Yokohama accidentally turned on heating with a remote control before going to bed and went to sleep, both of whom suffered from heat stroke. It means that there was a case that was transported by ambulance.
As people get older, the nerves that feel the heat tend to weaken and it is hard to notice even when the room temperature rises, Dr. Taniguchi said, ``When using an air conditioner, make sure you check the switch in a bright place and do not make a mistake when pressing it. , I want you to set the temperature below 28 degrees as the minimum line. If you feel cold, it is important to hang a thick futon and go to bed.”
Dr. Taniguchi said, ``This weekend is likely to be a hot day of 35 degrees or more in the Kanto region,'' Dr. Taniguchi said, ``Because heat stroke is a dangerous time until about mid-September, I think that it will be a little patience and properly turn on the air conditioner. I want you to use it to prevent it."
