Hyperthermia and Hypothermia.pptx
- 1. MUKESH SUNDARARAJAN HYPERTHERMIA & HYPOTHERMIA
- 3. ⚫Remarkable increase in body temperature ⚫Due to ⚫ Excessive heat production / misbalancing of body thermostat ⚫ Absorptionof environmental heat ⚫ Deficientof heat loss ⚫Synonym : Heat Stroke ⚫Condition of tropicand sub-tropicareas
- 4. ⚫Is purelyenvironmental ⚫Metaboliccondition ⚫Due to ⚫ High tempand humidity
- 5. ⚫Exertion ⚫Dehydration ⚫Electrolyte imbalance ⚫Decrease in sweating when humidity is >60%
- 7. ⚫Heart rate increase ⚫Respiration increase ⚫Absenceof sweating ⚫Increase thirst ⚫If prolonged ⚫ Renal and liverdysfunction ⚫ Convulsion ⚫ Collapse death
- 8. ⚫ Ice cold water bath (head, neck and body) ⚫ Ice cold water fordrinking ⚫ IV fluid dextrose / normal saline ⚫ Anti pyreticdrug (dipyrone / panadol ) ⚫ Broad spectrum antibiotic
- 10. ⚫Decrease in body temperature then normal value ⚫Due to ⚫ Insufficient heat production ⚫ Excessive heat loss
- 11. ⚫Metaboliccondition decrease muscularactivity ⚫Damage to thermoregulatorycenter ⚫Diarrhea ⚫Oversedation / anesthesia
- 12. ⚫Sub-normal body temperature ⚫Cold skin and extremities ⚫Weak pulse / decrease heart rate ⚫Shallow breathing ⚫Lethargy ⚫ terminal stage :- lowcardiac output, decrease reflexes , coma death
- 13. ⚫Pre- heated room / shed ⚫Pre-warmed I/V fluid ⚫Steroid shock condition ⚫Oxygen therapy
- 15. ⚫Reduceeffects of disease ⚫ Taking medicine ⚫To kill the microbes ⚫ Antibiotic / antiviral / antiprotozoal / antifungal
- 16. ⚫To promote health ⚫To preserve health ⚫To restore health when its impaired ⚫To minimize suffering and distress
