Heat Syncope?
Rapid Physical Fatigue during overexposure to heat
Prevention for Heat Syncope
Gradual Acclimatization
Treatment of Heat Syncope
Lying down in cool environment replenishing fluids
External Heat Cramps
Painful muscle spasms (calf, abdominal) due to excessive water loss and electrolyte imbalance
Conductive Heat Exchange
Physical contact with objects resulting in heat loss or gain
Convective Heat Exchange
Body heat can be lost or gained depending on circulation of medium
Radiant Heat Exchange
Comes from sunshine and will cause increase in temperature
Evaporative Heat Loss
␣ Sweat glands allow water transport to surface
␣ Evaporation of water takes heat with it
␣ When radiant heat and environment temperature are higher than body temperature, loss of heat through evaporation is key
Heat Cramp Treatment?
Treat with fluid ingestion and light stretching with ice massage
Heat Cramp Prevention?
Prevent by consuming extra fluids and maintaining electrolyte balance
Relative Humidity that stops evaporation?
relative humidity of 75% stops evaporation
Relative Humidity that impairs evaporation?
relative humidity of 65% impairs evaporation
Dehydration?
Mild dehydration occurs when 2% of body weight is lost in fluid
Dehydration S&S
Thirst, dizziness, dry mouth, irritability, excessive fatigue, and possible cramps, nausea, vomiting, fainting and increased risk for heat illness
Gradual Acclimatization
Most effective method of avoiding heat stress
- Involves becoming accustomed to heat and exercising in heat
Exertional Heat Exhaustion?
Core temperature will be <104
-profuse sweating, pale skin, mildly elevated temperature, dizziness, nausea, vomiting or diarrhea, hyperventilation, persistent muscle cramps, and loss of coordination
-WET N' BLUE
Exertional Heat Exhaustion Treatment?
Immediate treatment includes fluid ingestion (intravenous replacement, ultimately), place in cool environment, remove excess clothing
Exertional Heatstroke?
sudden collapse, LOC, CNS dysfunction, flushed hot skin, minimal sweating, shallow breathing, strong rapid pulse, and core temperature of > 104 F

RED N' DRY
External Heatstroke Treatment?
Drastic measures must be taken to cool athlete
␣ Strip clothing
␣ Sponge with cool water
␣ Do not immerse in water
␣ Transport to hospital immediately
␣ Cool first, transport second
Exertional Hyponatremia?
␣ Fluid/electrolyte disorder resulting in abnormally low concentration of sodium in blood
␣ Caused by ingesting too much fluid before, during and after exercise
Exertional Hyponatremia S&S?
Progressively worsening headache, nausea, vomiting
␣ Swelling of hands and feet, lethargy, apathy or agitation
␣ Low blood sodium
␣ Could compromise CNS and create a life- threatening situation
Athletes who are most susceptible to injury?
-unaccustomed to heat
-overweight
-eager competitive athletes
-those who receive immunization shoots and have lots of fevers
How to prevent heat injury
1. Medical History
2. Evaluation physical conditions
3.ACCLIMATIZE
4. Monitor body weight loss
5.Monitor Clothing & Uniforms
6. Have Rest periods
Hypothermia
too COLD
Hyperthermia
too HOT
Heat Loss Stats
65% of body heat is lost through radiation (head and neck 50%)
␣ 20% through evaporation
Frost Nip?
Involves, ears, nose, chin, fingers, and toes
-Skin appears firm with cold painless areas that may peel and blister (24-72 hours)
Frost Nip Treatment?
Skin appears firm with cold painless areas that may peel and blister (24-72 hours)
-Treat with firm pressure, blowing warm air or hands in armpits (if fingers involved)
-Do not rub!!!
Frost Bite?
Chilblains result from prolonged exposure causing redness and swelling, tingling pain in toes and fingers
-Due to poor peripheral circulation
