Recognition and Management of Heat-Related Illness
The Nurse Practitioner, 1994Health care providers are challenged to recognize heat-related illness in a variety of settings--episodic office visits, acute emergency room visits, telephone advice calls, and in the community at local sporting events and social functions. In order to determine the cause and initiate appropriate management, the provider must realize the spectrum of ...

Heat-related illnesses can occur in workplaces where hot environments pose a threat to at-risk workers. Operations involving high air temperatures and humidity, radiant heat sources, direct physical contact with hot objects, or strenuous physical activities have potential for inducing heat stress in employees engaged in job functions in specific ...

Heat-related illnesses comprise a spectrum of syndromes resulting from disruption of thermoregulation in people exposed to high environmental heat. Symptoms range from heat edema and exercise-associated muscle cramps to exercise-associated collapse, heat exhaustion, and life-threatening heat stroke.

Prevention of Heat-Related Illness
The Journal for Nurse Practitioners, 2007Abstract Heat-related illnesses, especially heat stroke, are a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in vulnerable persons during prolonged heat spells in temperate climates. Heat stroke produces a classic triad of symptoms: anhidrosis, temperature above 40°C (105°F), and mental changes.

Regulation of body temperature involves thermosensors, the central nervous system (CNS) and thermoregulatory effectors. Heat exhaustion and heatstroke should be considered extremes of a spectrum of response to heat stress. Immediate cooling is the cornerstone of management of heatstroke.

Heat-related illnesses cause 240 deaths annually. Although common in athletes, heat-related illnesses also affect the elderly, persons with predisposing medical conditions and those taking a variety of medications. Symptoms range from mild weakness, dizziness and fatigue in cases of heat edema, to syncope, exhaustion and multisystem complications ...

Triathletes, like all athletes engaged in sustained physical activity, generate body heat through well-described energy processes. And when these phenomena are compounded by environmental factors such as heat loading, thermoregulatory mechanisms are seriously challenged and innate mechanisms of heat dissipation are rapidly invoked.

Heat-related illness is a set of preventable conditions ranging from mild forms (e.g., heat exhaustion, heat cramps) to potentially fatal heat stroke. Hot and humid conditions challenge cardiovascular compensatory mechanisms. Once core temperature reaches 104°F (40°C), cellular damage occurs, initiating a cascade of events that may lead to organ ...

Heat-related illness in children
Clinical Pediatric Emergency Medicine, 2001Abstract Summer heat is responsible for a significant number of illnesses and emergency department visits. Although more common in elderly patients, infants, children, and adolescents are also vulnerable. Those involved in the care of pediatric patients need to be aware of the differences in physiology and behavior, as well as predisposing factors ...
