Ukugcinwa kokushisa komzimba wethu kubalulekile ukuze imisebenzi yawo ebalulekile ihlale ingashintshile. Ukulahlekelwa ukushisa okusheshayo nokubalulekile kungabangela umzimba wethu ukuthi wehlise ijubane jikelele. Ukuze ugweme ukupholisa okuyingozi, kubalulekile ukwazi ukuthi ungasabela kanjani uma kwenzeka i-hypothermia noma uma kwenzeka i-frostbite.

Yini okufanele uyenze uma i-hypothermia?

Uma isisulu sine-hypothermic, izinga lokushisa lomzimba waso liphansi ngokuyingozi futhi lokhu kuthinta ukusebenza komzimba waso.

Ukushaqeka kwe-Hypothermic kungenzeka emanzini abandayo kanye nesimo sezulu esibandayo, kodwa futhi esimweni sezulu esishisayo, esiswakeme, esinemvula nesinomoya.

Kunezigaba ezintathu ze-hypothermia. Njengoba isimo somuntu oyisisulu singawohloka ngokushesha, kubalulekile ukuthatha isinyathelo ngokushesha ngangokunokwenzeka lapho kuvela izimpawu zokuqala.

Ziyini izimpawu?

I-hypothermia emnene

• Ukuzizwa kubanda
• Amakhaza
• Ukuntuleka kokuxhumana kanye nobunzima ekukhulumeni

I-hypothermia emaphakathi

• Ukundindizela okungalawuleki
• Ukuntuleka kokuxhumana
• Izinga elishintshiwe lokuqaphela (ukudideka, ukulahlekelwa inkumbulo)
• Umbono uthintekile
• ukusangana

I-hypothermia enamandla

• Misa ukundindizela
• Ukulala
• Ukulahlekelwa kokwazi

Yini okufanele uyenze uma i-hypothermia?

• Gcina isisulu esomile futhi sifudumele;
• Mkhipheni izingubo zakhe ezimanzi, niwomise;
• Fudumeza isisulu ngokumnika iziphuzo ezishisayo (ungamniki utshwala), msonge ngezingubo zokulala (okungcono zifudumale esomisweni kusengaphambili), umfake endaweni yombungu nabanye abantu, umfake ezikhwameni ezishisayo entanyeni yakhe, ikhanda nomhlane;
• Cela usizo uma isimo sakhe singathuthuki noma uma izinga lakhe lokuqaphela lithinteka;
• Qaphela izimpawu zakhe ezibalulekile;
• Mphathe njengokushaqeka.

Indlela yokwelapha i-frostbite?

Lapho i-frostbite ekha phezulu, isisulu sizwa ubuhlungu engxenyeni eqandisiwe futhi uzwa ukuba ndikindiki. Lapho i-frostbite okuqinile, isisulu asisayizwa ingxenye eqandisiwe.

I-Frostbite ingasakazeka: imvamisa iqala lapho isikhumba sichayeka khona emakhazeni, bese singasakazekela ezinyaweni, ezandleni nasebusweni bonke uma isisulu sigcinwa sibandayo.

Ungayibona kanjani i-frostbite?

• Ingxenye yomzimba eveziwe imhlophe futhi inengcina;

• Ubuhlungu;
• Ukulahlekelwa ukuzwela, ukuncenceza nokuzwa ukushisa;

• Isikhumba siyaqina;

• Ukulahlekelwa ukuguquguquka kwamalunga.

Ukunakekelwa okufanele kuhlinzekwe

• Thatha isisulu endaweni efudumele;
• Fudumeza ingxenye eqandisiwe ngokushisa komzimba wakho noma ngokuyicwilisa emanzini asivivi;
• Gqokisa isisulu ngaphandle kokumcindezela;
• Weluleka isisulu ukuba afune usizo lwezokwelapha.
