Losses of fluid from any one source is reflected in the levels of all the body's other fluids: e.g. profuse sweating will ultimately result in decreased blood volume. If a patient loses enough fluid through any manner-bleeding, sweating, vomiting, or diarrhea-the end result is the same: dehydration and, potentially, volume shock. Adequate fluid is also critically important in hot environments to help our body thermoregulate (see Heat Illnesses page 00). Remember, dehydration can kill! If someone is chronically losing fluid (from diarrhea or vomiting), then you have a real emergency on your hands. Treat the cause of the fluid lose as best you can (see Shock page 00, Bleeding page 00, Heat Illnesses page 00, Abdominal Infections page 00) and rehydrate the patient.

Where hypothermia is the reduction of normal body temperature by 2-1/2 degrees or more, heat injuries is when the body temperatures soars above normal, or the body loses it’s ability to regulate heat due to exertion or exposure to a hot climate. Just like hypothermia, the very old, the very young, and those with circulatory disorders are more likely to get heat related injuries.

FAQ Heat Related Injuries The Team Links Sponsors Warm weather is wonderful. However, sometimes you can overdo the warmth especially if you are active or exercising. Here are three problems children can have in hot weather. These conditions are largely brought on by heat and dehydration and with proper care it is possible to prevent them. Heat Cramps Heat cramps are muscle contractions, usually in the gastronomies or hamstring muscles (the muscles at the back of the calves). These contraction are forceful and painful. These cramps seem to be connected to heat, dehydration, and poor conditioning, rather than to lack of salt or other mineral imbalances. They usually improve with rest, drinking water, and a cool environment. Heat Exhaustion Although partly due to exhaustion and feeling like exhaustion, as the name implies heat exhaustion is also a result of excessive heat and dehydration. The signs of heat exhaustion include paleness, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, fainting, and a moderately increased temperature (101-101 degrees F) which, in this case, is not truly a fever , but caused by the heat. Rest and water may help in mild heat exhaustion, and ice packs and a cool environment (with a fan blowing at the child) may also help. More severely exhausted patients may need IV fluids, especially if vomiting keeps them from drinking enough.

SUMMER FUN - SUMMER SAFETY AVOIDING HEAT RELATED INJURIES By Jack H. Olender, Esq. This article was published in The Washington Afro-American. F rom the shady tree-lined terraces of upper Northwest through the opened-hydrant streets of Southeast, to Rehoboth, Bethany and back, anyone who has ever spent a summer in the Washington metropolitan area knows first-hand the stifling, overwhelming, mindnumbing heat and humidity that engulfs the region this time of year: the temps in April and May that approach the mid-90's, followed by the record-breaking heat-waves in July, August and September that steadily climb into the low-100's with heat indexes 5 to 10 degrees higher. While summer conjures up the promise of parks, picnics, and lazy boating outings, it also camouflages the threat of a hidden menace, heat related injuries, which we quite often relegate to those society considers most vulnerable, our senior citizens. While the risk is highest among the elderly, heat-related exhaustion, stroke and death, under the right conditions, can affect healthy people of any age. Heat related illnesses occur when the body gains heat faster than it can dispose of it, and the illnesses can be rapidly brought on by exertion in poor atmospheric conditions. Any extended period of time spent in above average air temperatures can overwhelm the body's ability to cool itself and bring on the following conditions:

Heat Related Injuries The old idea that water should be withheld from athletes during workouts has no scientific foundation . The most important safeguard to the health of the athlete is the replacement of water. Water should be on the field and readily available to the athlete at all times. It is recommended that a minimum 10-minute water break be scheduled for every half- hour of heavy exercise in the heat. Heat Cramps Painful cramps involving abdominal muscles and extremities caused by intense prolonged exercise in the heat and depletion of salt and water due to profuse sweating. Heat Syncope Weakness, fatigue, and fainting due to loss of salt and water in sweat and exercise in the heat. Predisposes to heat stroke. Heat Exhaustion Excessive weight loss, reduced sweating, elevated skin and core body temperature, excessive thirst, weakness, headache, and sometimes unconsciousness. OBTAIN MEDICAL CARE AT ONCE Cool body as you would for heat stroke while waiting for transfer to a hospital. Give fluids if athlete is able to swallow and is conscious. Heat Stroke An acute medical emergency related to thermoregulatory failure. Associated with nausea, seizures, disorientation, and possible unconsciousness or coma. It may occur suddenly without being preceded by any other clinical signs. The individual is usually unconscious with a high body temperature and hot dry skin.

HOME HEAT-RELATED INJURIES Fitness training and athletic conditioning in hot and humid weather can be dangerous. Illnesses like heat cramps, heat exhaustion, and heatstroke may result from exercise in these conditions. Heat related problems vary in severity. The least severe heat problem is painful muscle contractions that occur in the extremities and abdominal region known as heat cramps. Heat exhaustion is an advanced fatigue characterized by excessive thirst, dry mouth, weight loss, weakness, incoordination, and mental dullness. Heatstroke symptoms include headache, vertigo, fatigue, absence of sweating, along with hot flushed dry skin, and rapidly increasing pulse and respiration rates. Heatstroke is the most dangerous heat related illness. Heat related problems can generally be prevented by sensible precautions. Properly condition their bodies to perform in heat. Repeated exposure to heat during training allows the body to adapt and decreases the chance of problems. An adequate water supply should always be available and drinks taken at regular intervals. A diet low in fat is advised with fluids rich in minerals like fruit juice. Workouts should be modified when necessary to adapt to excessive heat conditions. Athletes with prior heat related problems should receive special care to prevent recurrence by obtaining adequate rest and exercising during the cooler times of the day.

These are all manifestations of dehydration caused by excessive sweating. Heat cramps: Heat cramps is the mildest of these three forms. It is characterized by severe cramping of the muscles, similar to what is seen with football players during a game. Treatment is straightforward. Give your child a cold glass of water every 15 minutes and put him or her in a cool shaded place. Heat cramps are rarely, if ever, serious. Unless your child is showing some additional signs of distress, you do not need to contact your physician. Heat exhaustion: Heat exhaustion is a more serious form of heat stress. In heat exhaustion, the dehydration is somewhat more severe. It is characterized by dizziness, fainting, sweating, and a normal body temperature. If your child shows signs of heat exhaustion, you should:

Sports Preventing Heat Related Injuries and Illnesses By By Alisha Alford, Staff Writer Published: Wednesday, August 28, 2002 Imagine being on the tennis court watching someone faint in front of you, or playing ultimate Frisbee on the green only to see someone collapse from pain, exhaustion or loss of consciousness. You could witness this someday or, more importantly, it may happen to you, if you are not in the best condition to participate in outdoor sporting events. According to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, athletes and the young are the most susceptible to fall victim to heat related injuries and illnesses; more specifically those who regularly participate in sport practices or other sporting events during intense heat or in poorly ventilated areas. Of all sport related injuries and illnesses, heat injuries and illnesses will be those on the rise during these summer months. The most common types of heat injuries and illnesses are heat exhaustion, heat cramps and heat stroke. Heat exhaustion occurs when your body has been overexerted, or if there is increased sweating due to poor air circulation and ventilation. Heat exhaustion can cause fainting, weakness, and worse, collapsing. It is best to get to a cool place and drink plenty of water or other non-alcoholic fluids, for proper re-hydration. Also, remove any unnecessary layers of clothing.

Avoiding heat-related injuries More stories about recreational and youth sports Post or read comments in our online forums By Dr. L. Sam Reber Special to The Desert Sun July 11th, 2001 Heat-related injuries are preventable and everyone should be aware of the warning signs. Following are a few specific tips on recognizing and preventing heat-related injuries. The most common cause of heat-related illnesses is not taking in enough fluids to replace those escaping, mostly through sweat. Sweat rates vary depending on factors such as height and weight, fitness level, hydration status, environmental conditions, clothing and the type of exercise. Sweating is good because it is a natural response to regulate body temperature; however, the fluids which are lost need to be replaced or dehydration will occur. Injuries caused by heat vary in severity from dehydration and heat exhaustion to the most serious, heat stroke. Each condition should be treated immediately. Dehydration causes the body’s core temperature to rise, reducing cardiac function and decreasing the ability to sweat and cool down. Early warning signs of dehydration are fatigue and muscle cramping. Other symptoms may include loss of appetite, nausea, poor concentration, flushed skin, light-headedness and dark urine. The best cure for dehydration is to get out of the heat and rehydrate. Drink clear fluids or Gatorade-type products with carbohydrate to prevent fatigue and provide energy. A sports drink with small amounts of sodium can promote complete rehydration. Beverages containing caffeine or carbonation should be avoided. Muscle cramps can be massaged and cooled with water.

"Heat-related injuries can range from a relatively minor problem like heat cramps to a more serious condition like heat stroke, which can be fatal," says Dr. Neal Flomenbaum, chief of Emergency Medicine at New York-Presbyterian Hospital Weill Cornell Medical Center. Heat stroke occurs when a person can no longer perspire and his or her temperature control mechanism stops working. At first, it will seem like heat exhaustion, but the patient may begin to experience confusion, seizures, and other more severe side affects. Dr. Flomenbaum suggests the following tips to stave off the sizzling summer temperatures: • Slow down - Strenuous activities should be reduced or eliminated, or rescheduled to a cool time of day. Persons at risk, especially the elderly, should stay in the coolest place available out of the sun or in an air-conditioned room.

Types of Heat Related Injuries Photo credit: Pyramid Masonry Contractors Inc., Orlando, Fla. There are three main types of heat related injuries. Heat stroke is the most serious threat to health. Heat stoke is caused by the body's failure to regulate its core temperature. Sweating stops and the body no longer can cool itself. Victims of heat stroke can die or suffer permanent brain damage if not treated promptly. Heat exhaustion results from loss of fluid. The person will still sweat but experiences weakness, fatigue, nausea, or headache. The skin maybe clammy and moist, the complexion pale or flushed and temperature normal to slightly higher. Heat cramps are painful spasms of the muscle. They most often occur in the muscles of the legs but can occur else where. These are caused when large quantities of water are taken but the body is in need of salt. Back to Home Page Preventing Heat Injuries Links to Other Sites
