3. Remarkable increase in body temperature
Due to
Excessive heat production / misbalancing of body
thermostat
Absorption of environmental heat
Deficient of heat loss
Synonym : Heat Stroke
Condition of tropic and sub-tropic areas

4. Is purely environmental
Metabolic condition
Due to
High temp and humidity

5. Exertion
Dehydration
Electrolyte imbalance
Decrease in sweating when humidity is >60%

6. Temperature above normal values

7. Heart rate increase
Respiration increase
Absence of sweating
Increase thirst
If prolonged
Renal and liver dysfunction
Convulsion
Collapse death

8. Ice cold water bath (head, neck and
body)
Ice cold water for drinking
IV fluid dextrose / normal saline
Anti pyretic drug (dipyrone /
panadol )
Broad spectrum antibiotic

10. Decrease in body temperature then normal value
Due to
Insufficient heat production
Excessive heat loss

11. Metabolic condition decrease muscular activity
Damage to thermoregulatory center
Diarrhea
Over sedation / anesthesia

12. Sub-normal body temperature
Cold skin and extremities
Weak pulse / decrease heart rate
Shallow breathing
Lethargy
terminal stage :-low cardiac output, decrease reflexes
, coma death

13. Pre-heated room / shed
Pre-warmed I/V fluid
Steroid shock condition
Oxygen therapy

15. Reduce effects 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
