According to the 115 Emergency Center of Ho Chi Minh City, for festivals and outdoor events held during the day, prolonged direct exposure to sunlight, combined with strenuous activity, can easily cause the body to overheat, leading to sunstroke or heatstroke.
Participants should pay attention to choosing appropriate clothing; prioritize clothing made of breathable, sweat-wicking materials and light colors to minimize heat absorption; avoid wearing tight-fitting clothing or materials that cause stuffiness.
If it's sunny, bring a wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses, an umbrella, and use sunscreen when needed. Excessive sweating causes dehydration and electrolyte loss, so proactively drink water or electrolyte replacement drinks, even if you don't feel thirsty.
Crowded environments often lack oxygen, and combined with prolonged standing and insufficient food and drink, this is a common cause of hypoglycemia and fainting. Participants should remember to eat a light snack before attending the event, and those with a history of hypoglycemia should bring candy, biscuits, or soft drinks to use if needed.
If you experience symptoms such as dizziness, lightheadedness, tinnitus, or cold sweats, quickly alert those around you, move to a well-ventilated area to sit down and rest, and replenish your energy.
For high-risk groups such as children , the elderly, pregnant women, and people with underlying medical conditions, they should stand in open areas on the periphery, avoiding crowding near the stage.
High levels of noise and oxygen deprivation can trigger exacerbations of chronic illnesses. Therefore, it's important to always carry preventative medications (such as asthma inhalers or sublingual heart medications).
The 115 Emergency Center of Ho Chi Minh City advises that proactively protecting oneself is the top priority. Upon arrival at the location, observe the exits and the positions of mobile medical checkpoints. In case of chaos, absolutely do not go against the flow of traffic or bend down to pick up fallen objects to avoid being trampled.
If you notice someone showing unusual symptoms such as fainting, difficulty breathing, or injuries due to crowding, quickly call 115 for first aid instructions or take the victim to the nearest mobile medical station.
