Exertional Heat Illness and Hyponatremia: An Epidemiological Prospective

چکیده
CARTER, R. Exertional heat illness and hyponatremia: an epidemiological prospective. Curr. Sports Med. Rep., Vol. 7, No. 4, pp. S20YS27, 2008. In active populations, heat illness remains a cause of exercise-related injury and death. There is evidence that hyponatremia also occurs, but less often than heat illness. Incidence rates of these conditions are determined by the population at risk and individual susceptibilities. Improved strategies are needed to identify high-risk individuals who are likely to develop either hyponatremia or heat illness.

متن کاملHeat illness in the emergency department: keeping your cool.
Heat illness spans a broad spectrum of disease, with outcomes ranging from benign rash to fatal heat stroke. Heat illness is broadly divided into 2 types: classic and exertional. Both types occur as a result of exposure to elevated temperature with inadequate thermoregulation; however, classic illness occurs without preceding physical activity. Treatment consists of rapid cooling, fluid replace...
