Body Temperature

The heat and movement

There are special considerations you need when working on a hot summer day. Heating temperatures can lead to more dangerous conditions.

Heat cramps

Heat cramps are more common in people with physical exercise over a long period, allowing them to excessive sweating. Excessive sweating leads to a significant loss of body fluids and electrolytes, causing muscle spasms.

What are the symptoms of heat cramps?

Excessive sweating
Pain in the muscles, usually in the legs or abdomen
Note that in a warm environment, the individual does not seem to sweat a lot, because the dry air to evaporate the sweat is very fast.

What is the appropriate treatment for heat cramps?

Rest Stop activity and rest in a cool place.
Water - drink lots of it.
This treatment is recommended for most cases in order. If not, consult a doctor.

Insolation

Stroke is a serious illness heat cramps and results from prolonged exposure to heat, often accompanied by physical effort. This combination results in excessive sweating and can eventually cause heat exhaustion.

What is the physiological explanation of heat stroke?

Basically, there are a lot of fluid lost through sweat. Moreover, in an attempt to build up the blood the body, cold in the veins near the skin. This changes the blood circulation and increases blood from vital organs.

What are the signs and symptoms of heat stroke?

Cold, clammy skin (characteristic used to distinguish it from heat stroke)
Dilated
Excessive sweating
Dizziness, blurred vision, headache or cramps
Signs of shock: Rapid, weak pulse, rapid shallow breathing, vomiting, loss of consciousness

Insolation

This condition is also known as sunstroke, is a potentially fatal condition. It is the result of prolonged heat and humidity, or poorly ventilated space. There are two kinds of heat stroke: classic heat stroke, heat exhaustion and stress. Although anyone can develop heat stroke, the elderly population will be most affected.

Physiological explanation of heatstroke

In a classic heat stroke in the body's cooling mechanism and stops sweating. This allows the body temperature rises rapidly, and puts the vital organs and systems at risk.

The career of heat stress, body temperature rises rapidly through physical activity, but continues with sweat. Once again, the vital organs and systems at risk, since abnormally high body temperature.

What are the signs / symptoms of heat exhaustion?

The skin is red, hot and dry in the classic heat stroke, heat stroke hot, red and moist in the load
The pulse is rapid and complete (probably weaker at a later date)
Wheeze
Restlessness, nausea, dizziness, fatigue
Vomiting, convulsions, loss of consciousness
Use a separate condition of the skin, including heat exhaustion and heat stroke. In heat stroke the skin is cold and moist, while in warm regions, the skin red and hot, wet or dry.

How I can deal with someone, I imagine, have a stroke?

Move them to a cool, dry place.
Remove all clothing.
Cool the person by one of the following:
Cover with wet sheets and fan directly on the leaves.
Dip them in a cool bath (do not leave unattended).
Sponge with cold water (objective armpits, groin and neck because these areas extra cooling helps the body to cool faster).
If a body will feel cold, cover with a dry blanket. And if the temperature rises again, repeat the cooling process.
Continue with a doctor or ambulance.
This condition is very serious and must be resolved immediately. Follow the treatment protocol described above, and be sure to seek professional medical help as soon as possible.
