为台北市共同设计了一个试点热健康预警系统 (HHWS),使用湿球球体温度 (WBGT) 识别热风险. 这种基于证据的系统对公共卫生至关重要,为全国范围的热预警应用程序提供了信息.
科学领域:
- 生物气象学生物气象学
- 流行病学 流行病学
- 公共卫生 公共卫生
- 风险沟通 风险沟通
背景情况:
- 迫切需要一个热健康预警系统 (HHWS) 由于与热有关的重大伤亡.
- 在台湾台北市,共同设计过程吸引了利益相关者来解决政策问题.
- 确定了生物气象学,流行病学和风险沟通方面的知识差距.
研究的目的:
- 为台北市开发和试点一个基于证据的热健康预警系统 (HHWS).
- 确定适当的热量指标和公共卫生警告的风险值.
- 为了有效实施,将科学发现与利益相关者的观点结合起来.
主要方法:
- 共同设计过程涉及来自各个学科的利益相关者.
- 生物气象分析使用湿球球体温度 (WBGT) 来确定热暴露.
- 流行病学分析以确定与热有关的紧急风险和脆弱人群.
- 风险沟通评估,以优化警告频率.
主要成果:
- 台北居民在2016年经历了超过100天的有关WBGT水平.
- 与单独的温度相比,WBGT是热风险的优越指标.
- 与热有关的紧急情况在WBGT>36°C时显著增加 (RaRR=2.42),儿童 (0-14) 风险最高 (RaRR=7.70).
- 2018年,与城市官员和响应措施一起共同实施了一项HHWS试点.
结论:
- 台北的HHWS试点项目证明了联合设计和WBGT在热风险管理方面的有效性.
- 调查结果为开发全国范围的热预警应用程序提供了信息.
- 学到的经验教训为建立全球HHWS提供了宝贵的见解.

Glass-bulb Thermometer:
Glass-bulb thermometers are hollow glass tubes with a bulb tip containing liquid such as ethanol or mercury. Historically, glass bulb mercury thermometers were the standard device to measure body temperature. Today, mercury thermometers are prohibited in many countries due to the hazardous effects of mercury and the risk of exposure if the glass bulb breaks. In general,...
Assessing Body Temperature - Axilla
Step 1: Perform hand hygiene and put on clean gloves to maintain infection control and prevent cross-contamination.
Step 2: Prepare the patient by explaining the procedure to ensure understanding and cooperation. Ensure privacy, expose the axilla, and inform the patient that minimal movement is crucial for an accurate reading.
Step 3: Adjust the patient’s clothing to expose only the axilla. It minimizes...
