Methods of reducing fever01:22

Methods of reducing fever

732
The signs and symptoms of fever include hot and dry skin, flushed face, thirst, muscle aches, anorexia, headache, tachycardia, tachypnea, and fatigue. Elevated body temperature is reduced using two methods: pharmacological and nonpharmacological. Proper identification and treatment of the root cause of a fever is of utmost importance.

Decreased Body Temperature01:29

Decreased Body Temperature

676
A decreased body temperature can occur in patients with hypothermia and frostbite. Heat loss with extended cold exposure overpowers the body's ability to create heat, resulting in hypothermia. Core temperature readings help classify hypothermia. Mild hypothermia is temperatures between 32 °C (89.6 °F) and 35°C (95 °F) and is caused by impaired thermoregulation. Moderate hypothermia is temperatures between 28 C (82.4 °F) and 32 °C (89.6 °F) caused by...

Responses to Heat and Cold Stress

13.7K
Every organism has an optimum temperature range within which healthy growth and physiological functioning can occur. At the ends of this range, there will be a minimum and maximum temperature that interrupt biological processes.

Assessing Body Temperature - Temporal Artery

647
Here is a stepwise guide to assessing the body temperature at the temporal artery using a temporal artery thermometer
Step 1: Perform hand hygiene and don a fresh pair of gloves to prevent cross-infection and ensure patient safety.
Step 2: Explain the procedure to the patient to establish trust. Clear communication establishes trust with the patient, ensures they understand what to expect, promotes cooperation, and enhances comfort during the procedure.  
Step 3: Assess the patient's...

Mechanisms of Heat Transfer II01:20

Mechanisms of Heat Transfer II

3.4K
In convection, thermal energy is carried by the large-scale flow of matter. Ocean currents and large-scale atmospheric circulation, which result from the buoyancy of warm air and water, transfer hot air from the tropics toward the poles and cold air from the poles toward the tropics. The Earth’s rotation interacts with those flows, causing the observed eastward flow of air in the temperate zones. Convection dominates heat transfer by air, and the amount of available space for the airflow...

Equipments Used to Measure Body Temperature01:13

Equipments Used to Measure Body Temperature

1.1K
Body temperature can be assessed using various devices and measured in Celsius or Fahrenheit.
Glass-bulb Thermometer:
Glass-bulb thermometers are hollow glass tubes with a bulb tip containing liquid such as ethanol or mercury. Historically, glass bulb mercury thermometers were the standard device to measure body temperature. Today, mercury thermometers are prohibited in many countries due to the hazardous effects of mercury and the risk of exposure if the glass bulb breaks. In general,...

Area of Science:

  • Environmental Health
  • Climate Science
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Increasing global temperatures and heat waves elevate the incidence of heat-related illnesses.
  • Heatstroke, a severe heat-related illness, is associated with high mortality and long-term health consequences.
  • Current heatstroke early warning systems lack a unified approach, hindering effective prevention strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive overview of existing heatstroke early warning systems.
  • To analyze systems based on environmental climate factors and individual susceptibility.
  • To serve as a reference for future research and development in heatstroke prevention.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current heatstroke early warning systems.
  • Categorization of warning systems based on environmental parameters (e.g., effective temperature, heat index, Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) index, somatosensory temperature).
  • Analysis of systems considering individual susceptibility and heat tolerance differences.

Main Results:

  • Various environmental parameters are utilized in current heatstroke warning systems.
  • Individual susceptibility is a critical, yet less standardized, component of heatstroke risk.
  • A unified framework for heatstroke early warning systems is currently absent.

Conclusions:

  • Effective heatstroke warning requires consideration of both environmental conditions and individual factors.
  • Further research is needed to develop standardized and comprehensive heatstroke early warning systems.
  • Standardized systems can help mitigate the impact of heatwaves and reduce heatstroke incidence.
