متن کاملPredictors of multi-organ dysfunction in heatstroke.
BACKGROUND Heatstroke is a medical emergency that results from failure of thermoregulatory mechanism coupled with an exaggerated acute phase response, causing an elevation in core body temperature that rises above 40 degrees C, producing multi-organ dysfunction. It carries a high mortality rate, and in survivors, a risk of permanent neurological damage. OBJECTIVE To investigate predictors of ...
متن کاملNonexertional heatstroke. Physiologic management and cooling in 14 patients.
Fourteen patients with nonexertional heatstroke were evaluated in a general hospital during the summer of 1980. They were managed according to a prospectively devised protocol designed to effect heat dissipation primarily via convection and evaporation rather than by conduction. The time from entry into the emergency room to the first recorded rectal temperature of less than 103 degrees F (39.4...
متن کاملCytokine changes in patients with heatstroke during pilgrimage to Makkah
Circulating levels and role of IL-6, IL-1ra, TNFsr-II and CRP in patients with heatstroke is not fully known. This study correlated levels of these mediators with outcome in 26 patients. In survivors (n=20), IL-6 concentration declined on cooling, whereas in non-survivors levels continued to increase at 6 h following admission before declining. Admission TNFsr-II concentrations in survivors wer...
