Hyperthermia and Hypothermia- BASIC LIFE SUPPORT-MUKESH SUNDARARAJAN

1. MUKESH SUNDARARAJAN HYPERTHERMIA & HYPOTHERMIA

2. Remarkable increase in body temperature Due to Excessive heat production / misbalancing of body thermostat Absorption of environmental heat De f ic ient of heat loss Synonym : Heat Stroke C ondi t ion of t r o p i c and su b - t r op i c a r eas

3. I s pu r e l y e n vi r o n mental M etabolic c o n diti o n Due to Hi g h t emp and humidi t y

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

5. T empe r at u r e ab o v e n o rma l v alues

6. Heart rate increase Respiration increase Absen c e of s w eating Increase thirst If prolonged R enal and l i v er dy sfunction Convulsion Collapse  death

7. I c e c old w a t er b a t h (head, n eck and body) I c e c old w a t er f or drinking IV fluid dextrose / normal saline Ant i p y r et i c dru g (di p y r o n e / panadol ) Broad spectrum antibiotic

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

9. M etabolic c o n diti o n  dec r ease musc ular act i vity Damage to thermoregulatory center Diarrhea O v er sedation / anesthesia

10. 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

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

12. R edu c e ef f ects of disease Taking medicine T o k i ll th e mic r obes Antibiotic / antiviral / antiprotozoal / antifungal
