Heatstroke: thermoregulation, pathophysiology, and predisposing factors.
Heatstroke is a common veterinary emergency that, depending on the severity of injury, can progress to a life-threatening condition. Heatstroke can be classic (nonexertional) or exertional. Classic heatstroke develops when the body is exposed to high external temperatures, whereas exertional heatstroke is caused by strenuous exercise. Thermoregulation is the intrinsic ability of the body to mai...
متن کاملHeatstroke pathophysiology: the energy depletion model.
This symposium focuses on exertional heatstroke, with emphasis on predisposing factors, clinical observations, diagnosis, treatment and recovery. The serious challenge to cardiovascular stability presented by exercise hyperthermia and some aspects of regulatory failure was reviewed in the introduction. The intent of this review, to understand how heat stress is translated into heat strain at th...
متن کاملCold water immersion: the gold standard for exertional heatstroke treatment.
The key to maximize the chances of surviving exertional heatstroke is rapidly decreasing the elevated core body temperature. Many methods exist to cool the body, but current evidence strongly supports the use of cold water. Preferably, the athlete should be immersed in cold water. If lack of equipment or staff prevents immersion, a continual dousing with cold water provides an effective cooling...
متن کاملUnexpected extrapyramidal symptoms and pulmonary aspergillosis in exertional heatstroke with fulminant liver failure: a case report
BACKGROUND Exertional heatstroke is a life-threatening condition with high mortality because of the rapid progress of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome even if aggressive treatments are initiated rapidly. Mild to moderate hepatic injury is common in exertional heatstroke, while fulminant liver failure is rare. Extrapyramidal symptoms and pulmonary aspergillosis secondary to liver failure indu...
متن کاملBlood lactate threshold and type II fibre predominance in patients with exertional heatstroke.
OBJECTIVES Severe damage to skeletal muscle is usually seen in patients with exertional heatstroke. Thirty seven young military recruits with exertional heatstroke in Taiwan from 1992 to 1995 were studied to evaluate changes in muscle pathology and blood lactate with exercise. METHODS A biopsy sample of the vastus lateralis was taken from recruits within 10 days of the initial presentation. R...
