Title: HEAT / COLD EXPOSURE 1


1
HEAT / COLD EXPOSURE 1
  • HYPERTHERMIA
  • HEAT EMERGENCIES
  • HYPOTHERMIA
  • COLD EMERGENCIES

2
HYPERTHERMIA 2 EXPOSURE TO HEAT
  • EXCESSIVE HEAT
  • HIGH HUMIDITY
  • LITTLE OR NO AIR MOVEMENT

3
INTERNAL BODY HEAT 3
  • RISES
  • BLOOD VESSELS NEAR SKIN SURFACE DILATE
  • RELEASES HEAT
  • BODY PERSPIRES
  • COOLS BODY AS IT EVAPORATES
  • SOME HEAT LOST WHEN BREATHING (VERY SMALL AMOUNT)

4
HEAT EXHAUSTION 4
  • SKIN
  • PALE
  • CLAMMY HEAVY SWEATING
  • PULSE
  • WEAK
  • RAPID
  • PUPILS
  • DILATED
  • BREATHING
  • RAPID
  • SHALLOW
  • TEMPERATURE
  • NORMAL OR BELOW

5
HEAT STROKE 5
  • SKIN
  • MOIST THEN BECOMES DRY
  • RED AND VERY HOT
  • PULSE
  • RAPID / STRONG - WEAK LATE STAGES
  • PUPILS
  • CONSTRICTED
  • BREATHING
  • RAPID
  • TEMPERATURE
  • HIGH 103 OR HIGHER
  • CONVULSIONS POSSIBLE COMA

6
FIRST AID 6
  • GET THEM COOLED DOWN
  • APPLY COLD WET TOWELS
  • SHOCK POSITION
  • NORMAL FOR HEAT EXHAUSTION
  • RAISE UPPER BODY IN HEAT STROKE
  • IF CONSCIOUS SMALL AMOUNT OF WATER
  • CALL EMS

7
HYPOTHERMIA 7
  • MODERATE TO EXTREME COLD
  • WETNESS
  • BREEZE
  • EXHAUSTION

8
SIGNS / SYMPTOMS 8
  • SHIVERING
  • SLURRED SPEECH
  • MEMORY LAPSES / CONFUSION
  • POOR MUSCLE CONTROL
  • DROWSINESS
  • BECOME EXHAUSTED
  • LOSS OF CONSCIOUSNESS
  • COMA

9
FROSTBITE 9
DON'T RUB
  • SUBMERGE IN WATER 100-105 DEGREES
  • AT LEAST 20-30 MINUTES

10
