    Extractions: It's that time of the year again, when kids participate in team sportssoccer, football, track and basketball. Yes, it's the season for bumps, bruises, strains and sprains. To alleviate their kids'pain, parents may wonder whether to reach for an ice pack, a heating pad or the telephone. Apply cold The rule of thumb for most injuries is to start with cold. With any injury, there's initial inflammation, and heat will just increase it. Cold reduces inflammation, so apply ice packs for at least 72 hours, or until all visible swelling is gone. Some sports medicine experts recommend icing the injury for 10 days to three weeks. Injuries that call for ice include: muscle cramps, strains, sprains, shinsplints and runner's knee. Of course, if your child experiences intense pain, has significant swelling or you suspect the injury is serious, you should seek professional medical attention. For best results with a fresh injury, apply ice repeatedly for 10 to 20 minutes at a time (but never longer), with a break of at least an hour between sessions. Cold treatments left on too long can actually be harmful, since skin and muscle tissue can start to freeze. Don't apply ice directly to the skindoing so can lead to frostbite even sooner. Instead, use crushed ice in a wet towel. We recommend keeping a large bag of peas in the freezer for use as a ready-made ice pack. The peas conform well to a knee or shoulder shape, and the bag can be frozen again for reuse. Just remember to mark the bag so the peas don't end up in your dinner.

    Extractions: To Avoid Heat Stroke New York, NY (March 1999) As the temperature rises, so does the incidence of heat-related injuries. Most often these problems occur on hazy, hot and humid days. According to Neal Flomenbaum, M.D., at New York Weill Cornell Center of New York Presbyterian Hospital, heat-related injuries can range from a relatively minor problem such as heat cramps, to a more serious condition such as heat stroke, which can be fatal. Common heat-related injuries include muscle cramps due to heavy loss of water and salt through perspiration; heat exhaustion in the form of headaches, nausea and weakness; and heat stroke. Heat stroke occurs when an individual can no longer sweat and their temperature control mechanism stops working, said Dr. Flomenbaum. At first, it will seem like heat exhaustion, but the patient may begin to experience confusion, seizures and eventually lapse into a coma. Dr. Flomenbaum suggests the following tips to prevent you and your family from heat stroke:

    Extractions: Departments Patient Information A patient information handout on preventing heat illness, written by the authors of this article , is provided on page 759. A lthough heat-related illnesses are treatable and preventable, at least 240 persons die of heat-related illnesses in the United States each year. In 1980, 1,700 persons died during a prolonged heat wave. Heat stroke is ranked third behind head and neck trauma and cardiac disorders as a cause of death among U.S. high school athletes. In 1995, five high school students died of heat-related illnesses. The mortality from heat-related illness is probably under-reported because deaths related to cardiovascular, cerebrovascular and respiratory disorders occur during heat waves. Etiology, Risk Factors and Pathophysiology Most heat-related problems result from environmental conditions and can be predicted and prevented. Heat-related illnesses are more common in the summer but can also occur in moderate conditions, depending on environmental factors. Heat production is affected by multiple environmental factors including temperature, humidity, sun exposure, wind and clothing. The body's thermoregulatory system is responsible for allowing the body to heat and cool itself as necessary. This system can be overwhelmed during periods of heat stress if the sum of the environmental heat load and the metabolic heat load exceeds the body's capacity for heat dissipation.

    Extractions: A Guide for Parents with Ideas for Kids You are sitting in your office and suddenly the phone rings. "Ms. Ramirez?  Your son, Raoul, was injured during football practice. His knee may be badly hurt. He is going to County General. Please go to the emergency room right away." You try to remain composed, but you can feel panic creeping through your body. With your breathing shallow and heart pounding, you drop everything and try to remember how to get to the hospital. In the past, Raoul has only had scrapes and bruises, like most kids his age. You recall being hesitant to let him play a rough sport like football that requires considerable physical contact. But you decided not to keep him from playing his favorite sport. This is your child's first major injury. Preventing Injuries Treat Injuries with "RICE"

Heat Rash Heat Cramps People who sweat a lot during exercise can get heat cramps. Sweat is made of your body's salt and water. When you sweat a lot, your body loses too much salt. The low salt level causes muscles to tighten and cramp, which can be painful. They usually happen in your arm and leg muscles.

    Extractions: Heat Injuries by: Pete Peters - 88th PVI Surgeon We've all heard the question a hundred times. It's a standard on the hobby... the sun is blazing, it's 98 degrees and the humidity is as high as it gets. As you prepare to do a battle in three or four layers of clothing, John Q. Public approaches asking the inevitable... "Aren't you hot in those clothes?" Although several dozen wise crack answers echo in you mind, you stifle them and chose to explain calmly and politely the nature of the cloth and educate the public. While you are creating an opportunity to learn, perhaps you should listen to your body and common sense and remember that you are hot in those clothes. A hazard of the hobby, by virtue of just doing it right, is heat related injuries. During the great war of the rebellion, many a great man was felled by the cruelties of heat, dehydration, and physical exertion. We are just as vulnerable to these enemies now as our forefathers were in the 1860's. Often, reenactors are weekend warriors under exercised and over nourished. They are more likely to fall victim to heat exhaustion and heat stroke. Common sense. There is no place in this hobby for this but a few precautionary measures may save you or someone in your unit a whole lot of trouble. Drink plenty of water! If you don't have to go like a race horse, then you haven't had enough! Do not drink alcohol as this dehydrates. Wear a hat and keep ice or a cool damp cloth in it. Add a cloth to the back of your neck as well.

    Extractions: All the body's fluids make up one large body fluid pool. 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. Remember, dehydration can kill! Dehydration is always easier to prevent than it is to treat. So it is important to ensure that all members of your group replace their regular fluid losses by drinking adequate amounts of water. Your body absorbs fluids best when you drink frequently and in small amounts rather than drinking large amounts at one time. It also helps with fluid absorption if you drink while eating. A pinch of salt and sugar in the water will do if no food is available. Very dilute mixtures of sports drinks like Gatorade® (add just enough to taste) work well for this purpose. Don't depend on feeling thirsty to tell you when to drink. Thirst is a late response of the body to fluid depletion. Once you feel thirsty, you are already low on fluids. The best indicator of proper fluid levels is urine output and color. You, and all the people in your group should strive to be "copious and clear." Ample urine that is light colored to clear shows that the body has plenty of fluid. Dark urine means that the body is low on water, and is trying to conserve its supply by hoarding fluid which means that urine becomes more concentrated (thereby darker).
