Resumen

El calor extremo amenaza a las poblaciones urbanas. La integración de sistemas de alerta temprana de calor individualizados y a nivel de población puede proteger mejor a los más en riesgo.

Área de la Ciencia:

Salud Ambiental
Planificación Urbana
Salud Pública

Sus antecedentes:

El calor extremo presenta un riesgo significativo y creciente para las poblaciones urbanas.
Los sistemas actuales de alerta temprana de calor suelen operar a un nivel de población amplio, lo que puede pasar por desapercibidos a personas vulnerables.

Objetivo del estudio:

Explorar la integración de sistemas de alerta temprana de calor individualizados y a nivel de población.
Mejorar la protección de las poblaciones urbanas vulnerables contra eventos de calor extremo.

Principales métodos:

Revisión de las funcionalidades existentes de los sistemas de alerta temprana de calor.
Análisis de las capacidades emergentes de los sistemas de alerta individualizados.
Desarrollo de un marco conceptual para la integración de sistemas.

Principales resultados:

Los sistemas a nivel de población ofrecen una amplia cobertura pero carecen de especificidad individual.
Los sistemas individualizados proporcionan alertas personalizadas pero pueden tener desafíos de escalabilidad.
Los sistemas integrados pueden combinar la concienciación de toda la población con una protección específica y personalizada.

Conclusiones:

La combinación de sistemas de alerta temprana de calor individualizados y a nivel de población ofrece una estrategia prometedora.
Este enfoque integrado puede extender la protección de manera más efectiva a las comunidades urbanas vulnerables.
Se necesita más investigación y desarrollo para implementar y validar dichos sistemas combinados.

Palabras clave:

Decreased Body Temperature

Decreased Body Temperature

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...

Methods of reducing fever

Methods of reducing fever

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.
Pharmacological Methods of Reducing Fever:

Responses to Heat and Cold Stress

Responses to Heat and Cold Stress

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.

Homeostatic Imbalances in Body Temperature

Homeostatic Imbalances in Body Temperature

Hyperthermia occurs when the body's temperature becomes unusually high, often due to heat exposure, intense physical activity, or certain illnesses. This condition can create a dangerous cycle where elevated body temperature increases the metabolic rate, generating more heat and potentially leading to organ failure and brain damage. A severe form of hyperthermia, called heat stroke, can raise body temperature to life-threatening levels. Fever, on the other hand, is a controlled form of...

Factors Affecting Body Temperature

Factors Affecting Body Temperature

As a nurse, it is vital to understand the factors affecting body temperature to monitor variations and effectively evaluate deviations from regular.
Factors may include:

Temperature Measurement Sites

Temperature Measurement Sites

A thermometer measures body temperature. The common sites for measuring body temperature are the oral cavity, axillary region, temporal artery, and skin surface, such as the forehead, abdomen, and axilla. True core body temperature is assessed in the rectum, tympanic membrane, pulmonary artery, esophagus, and urinary bladder.
Oral: When assessing oral temperature, the thermometer tip should be placed under the tongue in the posterior sublingual pocket. It offers accurate readings and can be...
