Guidelines for the use of air conditioning by the elderly, the sick, and pregnant women

Currently, the demand for air conditioners increases due to increasingly hot weather. Still, not everyone knows how to use them properly, which can lead to hazardous "thermal shock.", especially for households with elderly people, pregnant women, and sick people.

Therefore, adjusting the air conditioner temperature appropriately will help the elderly, pregnant women, and people who are sick feel comfortable and not affect their health.

Elderly

The body temperature of the elderly is often unstable, and their resistance is weak. As a result, they are very susceptible to high blood pressure and rheumatism when sitting for a long time under the air conditioner. Therefore, you should keep the air conditioner temperature moderate (not too hot, not too cold) between 26 and 27 degrees Celsius and between 27 and 28 degrees Celsius at night.

When the air is cool, you can turn off the air conditioner for a few hours, opening the door to let the air circulate outside.

If the elderly sit for too long in an air-conditioned environment, you should give them physiological saline for their eyes and nose. They should also drink a lot of water and eat fruits to replenish the amount of water and vitamins in their bodies.

Before going to bed, the elderly should soak their feet in warm water to promote blood circulation, reduce fatigue, and cover their feet with a thin blanket to keep them warm.

Build toilets in the room to help the elderly quickly move and avoid heat shock when exposed to the outside environment.

People who are sick

People who are sick quickly get tired because their resistance is weak, so if the room temperature is too hot or too cold, it will not be suitable for the ill person's body temperature. Therefore, setting the air conditioner's temperature between 27 and 28 degrees Celsius is ideal, bringing a comfortable feeling to the patient. Or, when the weather is hot, you can maintain the temperature at 27 degrees Celsius, and at night, adjust it to 28-29 degrees Celsius.

If the sick person is coughing, put a thin blanket on the chest area, and the cough with phlegm should limit staying in an air-conditioned room because it worsens the disease.

The bed should not be placed opposite but should be placed parallel to the air conditioner's cold airflow direction. Limit the continuous on/off of the air conditioner to 24/24.

The bedroom needs to be clean to avoid the germs that stay and cause other diseases.

Pregnant women

For pregnant women, doctors recommend

- Adjust room temperature from 26 to 28 degrees Celsius during the day. At night, it can adjust to 27 to 28 degrees Celsius. It would help if you used natural wind mode.

- Pregnant women should not sit in a closed, air-conditioned room for too long or use the air conditioner continuously.

- You should turn off the air conditioner 30 minutes before going out, and do not open the window right after turning it off. Instead, wait for the room temperature to rise, then the body will gradually adapt to the temperature change.

- To keep the body warm from the inside, pregnant women can inhale essential oils or put a few drops of eucalyptus oil in a cup of hot water to inhale the steam.

- Wear closed-neck clothes, foot covers, and sandals; use a thin blanket to cover your chest when sleeping in an air-conditioned room.

- Clean the air conditioner regularly. Do not use the old air conditioner because of the ability to filter dirt and its antibacterial function.

In addition, the elderly, the sick, and pregnant women need a quiet and airy space to rest. Therefore, it is advisable to use an air conditioner with practical antibacterial and deodorizing features, and smooth operation is the top priority for these objects.

The inverter technology of the Mitsubishi Electric air conditioners operates super-quietly, emitting only 21db of sound (while the recording room sound intensity is 25 dB).

Besides, the indoor unit of the machine is made from high-quality PS plastic material, which helps to eliminate the engine's noise when operating, contributing to a good night's sleep.

Mitsubishi Electric air conditioners have outstanding deodorizing and antibacterial capabilities thanks to three filters:

1. The Anti-allergy Enzyme Filter with Artificial Green Enzyme removes allergens.
2. The Nano Platinum filter with platinum ceramic particles has an antibacterial and deodorizing effect.
3. The plasma filter also creates an electric field film and releases electrostatic rays into the air that is sucked into the machine to kill bacteria.
