On-site treatment of exertional heat stroke.
BACKGROUND Exertional heat stroke is a devastating condition that can cause significant morbidity and mortality. Rapid cooling is the most effective means of treating heat stroke, but little is published on the safety and logistics of cooling patients on site at a major sporting event. PURPOSE To describe an on-site exertional heat stroke treatment protocol and to compare the outcomes of pati...
متن کاملAlleviation of Heat Strain by Cooling Different Body Areas during Red Pepper Harvest Work at WBGT 33 ̊C
The purpose of the present study was to examine the effects of different types of personal cooling equipments (PCE) on the alleviation of heat strain during red pepper harvest simulated in a climatic chamber. The experiment consisted of eight conditions: 1) Control, 2) Neck cooling scarf A with a cooling area of 68 cm2, 3) Neck cooling scarf B (cooling area 154 cm2), 4) Brimmed hat with a froze...
متن کاملAlleviating heat loss associated with modified ultrafiltration.
Modified ultrafiltration (MUF) has been described and utilized for the removal of extracellular water in the immediate postcardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) period. This technique has been associated with improved hematological status and hemodynamic stability post cardiopulmonary bypass. Hypothermia during the MUF period has been described as a complication associated with this technique. Decreased...
متن کاملA virtual rat for simulating environmental and exertional heat stress.
Severe cases of environmental or exertional heat stress can lead to varying degrees of organ dysfunction. To understand heat-injury progression and develop efficient management and mitigation strategies, it is critical to determine the thermal response in susceptible organs under different heat-stress conditions. To this end, we used our previously published virtual rat, which is capable of com...
متن کاملBioimpedance Identifies Body Fluid Loss after Exercise in the Heat: A Pilot Study with Body Cooling
PURPOSE Assessment of post-exercise changes in hydration with bioimpedance (BI) is complicated by physiological adaptations that affect resistance (R) and reactance (Xc) values. This study investigated exercise-induced changes in R and Xc, independently and in bioelectrical impedance vector analysis, when factors such as increased skin temperature and blood flow and surface electrolyte accumula...
