Message: <blockquote data-quote="sakuraguy" data-source="post: 1725545" data-attributes="member: 6441">Extreme Heat Heat exhaustion is a condition resulting from the loss of fluid and salt, usually through excessive sweating. Heatstroke generally occurs rapidly when the brain's temperature regulator fails to work effectively. This tends to occur when the casualty has been in a very hot environment or has a fever caused by a condition such as malaria.Heat exhaustion Heat exhaustion is very similar to shock in that fluid is being lost from the body. It most commonly occurs when a person has been exercising and not replacing fluid content: cyclists and joggers are common sufferers from the condition.Signs and symptoms of heat exhaustion History of exertion Pale, cold and clammy skin Fast, weak pulse Fast, shallow breathing Nausea Dizziness and disorientation Lapse into unconsciousness TreatmentLay the casualty down in a cool place and raise her legs. If the casualty is conscious give sips of a weak salt solution (one teaspoon to one litre of water). Maintain a check on the casualty's consciousness level. If it deteriorates, place the casualty in the recovery position and call for emergency help. If the casualty's condition improves rapidly, advise her to see a doctor. HeatstrokeIn heatstroke, the body becomes very hot very quickly and this condition can be fatal. The signs and symptoms are very similar to those of a stroke.Signs and symptoms Hot, flushed and dry skin Slow, full and bounding pulse Noisy breathing High body temperature Headache Disorientation Lapse into unconsciousness TreatmentCheck airway and breathing. If unconscious, turn the casualty into the recovery position. Be prepared to resuscitate if necessary. If the casualty is conscious, move to a cool environment. If this is impossible or the casualty is unconscious, try to cool the environment (use fans, open doors and keep crowds away). Call for emergency help and reassure the casualty if he or she is conscious. Remove outer clothes and wrap the casualty in a cold, wet sheet. Keep it wet. Continue the cooling process. If the body temperature drops, replace the wet sheet with a dry one. Continue to monitor the casualty while you wait for help.
