PPT-HYPERTHERMIA (HEAT STROKE OR HEAT EXHAUSTION)& Fever

By Dr Hussein ALNaji Hyperthermia is the elevation of core body temperature caused by excessive heat production or absorption or to deficient heat loss when the causes of these abnormalities are purely physical. Heat Stress. The body normally cools itself by sweating. During hot weather, especially with high humidity, sweating isn't enough. Body temperature can rise to dangerous levels if precautions are not taken such as drinking water frequently and resting in the shade or air conditioning. Heat illnesses range from heat rash and heat cramps . Marching Band Members. Introduction. Heat-related health problems can be serious. Even when all efforts are made to ensure safe conditions for activities, it’s not always possible to regulate temperature – or to predict individual reactions to heat.. Shen. , . Jia. Nan (Cathy) .
