Uhlelo lwabezindaba lwe-New York Times luthole umbuzo ofanele kakhulu ngenkathi ebandayo:
URobin Thompson, i-internist e-ProHealth Care Associates e-Huntington, eNew York, ukholelwa ukuthi ukugeza izandla njalo kuyisihluthulelo sokuvimbela izifo.
UDkt. Thompson uthi: “Ukuvimbela ukusondelana kuyasiza, kodwa akuqinisekisiwe.
Ukulala embhedeni owodwa ngempela kungandisa amathuba akho okuthola umkhuhlane noma umkhuhlane kowakwakho, uthi, kodwa ukuwugwema kungasiza. Ikakhulukazi kumfundi obhalayo ukuthi ngeke aphume endlini. Ukuhlanzwa njalo kwezindawo ezivame ukuthintwa amalungu omndeni kunganciphisa inani lamagciwane.
UDkt. Susan Rehm, iphini likasihlalo woMnyango Wezifo Ezithathelwanayo eCleveland Clinic, ukholelwa ukuthi ngaphezu kwezindawo ezisobala, izinkomishi nezingilazi zokuxubha endlini yokugezela nakho kungaba imithombo yamagciwane. UDkt. Rehm uthi isivikelo esingcono kakhulu ekuthelelekeni ukugoma, kodwa udokotela angase futhi anikeze amalungu omndeni umuthi wokulwa namagciwane lapho umuntu oyedwa egula khona ukuze avimbele izifo futhi anikeze isivikelo esengeziwe.
NgokukaRem, noma nini lapho ekhathazeka ngokungenwa isifo, ugxila kulokho angakwazi ukukulawula. Isibonelo, wonke umuntu (ngisho noma amasizini abandayo) bangalawula ukudla kwabo, ukuvivinya umzimba namazinga okusebenza ngokomzimba, kanye nokulala okunempilo. Ukholelwa ukuthi lokhu kungase kumsize amelane nalesi sifo, noma okungenani abekezelele kalula lesi sifo uma ukutheleleka kwenzeka.
Umcwaningi wezifo ezithathelwanayo eMayo Clinic (esinye sezikhungo ezinkulu ezizimele zezokwelapha nokucwaninga emhlabeni), uDkt. Preetish Tosh, uthe kubalulekile ukuqaphela “imikhuba emihle yokuphefumula” uma ugula. Uma ukhwehlela noma uthimula, kungcono ukwenza kanjalo endololwaneni yakho egobile kunesandla sakho noma isibhakela. Futhi yebo, umuntu ogulayo kufanele azihlukanise namanye amalungu omndeni, noma okungenani azame ukuhlala kude nawo ngesikhathi sokugula.
Ubalule ukuthi imindeni ivamise ukuchayeka kumagciwane ngasikhathi sinye, ngakho-ke kuvame ukwenzeka ukuthi izifo zasekhaya zinqwabelane, futhi amalungu omndeni agule ngokoqobo embuthanweni.
Uma ilungu lomndeni linomkhuhlane noma umkhuhlane futhi ungaphumi njalo endlini ngezizathu ezihlukahlukene, okulandelayo kungasiza:
Zama ukuthi ungaxhumani nesiguli okungenani ngesikhathi sokugula kwaso.
Geza izandla zakho kaningi.
Yenza ukuhlanza okumanzi kwefulethi, ukunaka ngokukhethekile izinto isiguli esizithintayo. Izibambo zeminyango, iminyango yesiqandisi, amakhabethe, amatafula aseceleni kombhede, izinkomishi zesixubho.
Faka umoya ekamelweni okungenani kabili ngosuku - ekuseni nangaphambi kokulala.
Yidla kahle. Musa ukwenza buthaka amasosha omzimba ngokudla okungenamsoco neziphuzo ezidakayo, qaphela kakhulu izithelo, imifino kanye nemifino.
Phuza amanzi amaningi.
Ukuzivocavoca njalo noma ukushaja. Kungcono ukwenza lokhu ngaphandle kwekhaya, isibonelo, ehholo noma emgwaqweni. Kodwa uma kwenzeka unquma ukugijima, ungakhohlwa ukufudumala kahle ukuze ungaguli ngenxa yesihlobo esigulayo, kodwa ngenxa ye-hypothermia.
