Click the link for more information. .Sunstroke an acute pathological state of humans and animals caused by a disturbance of brain functions as a result of the direct action of the sun’s rays on the head. In humans, structural and functional changes occur in the subcortical and truncal parts of the brain, which regulate respiration, blood circulation, temperature balance, and the level of wake fulness and sleep. The changes are manifested by headache, vomiting, lethargy, an increase in body temperature (sometimes higher than 40°C), convulsions, agitation, and disturbances of the pulse and respiration. In severe cases coma develops. First aid includes moving the sunstroke victim to shade and cooling him with cold compresses and wet packs. In severe cases artificial respiration is administered. sunstroke[′sən‚strōk] (medicine) Heat stroke resulting from prolonged exposure to the sun, characterized by extreme pyrexia, prostration, convulsion, and coma. Also known as thermic fever. sunstroke heatstroke caused by prolonged exposure to intensely hot sunlight sunstroke
sunstroke [sun´strōk] a profound disturbance of the body's heat-regulating mechanism caused by prolonged exposure to excessive heat from the sun, particularly when there is little or no circulation of air. Elderly persons with underlying chronic disorders, those who use alcohol and atropine-containing drugs, and those with certain skin disorders are more susceptible. Sunstroke is a type of stroke" >heat stroke, but the category heat stroke also covers disorders caused by other forms of intense heat.
Recognition. Sunstroke is not the same as heat exhaustion, a less serious disorder in which the amount of salt and fluid in the body falls below normal. In sunstroke there is a disturbance in the mechanism that controls perspiration. Since sunstroke is much more dangerous than heat exhaustion and is treated differently, it is of the utmost importance to distinguish between the two. The first symptoms of both disorders may be similar: headache, dizziness, and weakness. But later symptoms differ sharply. In heat exhaustion, there is perspiration and a normal or below normal temperature, whereas in sunstroke there is extremely high fever and absence of sweating. Sunstroke also may cause convulsions and sudden loss of consciousness. In extreme cases it may be fatal.Treatment. In treatment of sunstroke, immediate steps must be taken to lower the body temperature, which may rise as high as 42 to 44.5°C (108 to 112°F). The patient should be placed in a shady, cool place and most of the clothing should be removed. The emergency system should be activated. Then cool water is gently applied, followed by fanning to increase heat dissipation through evaporation. Further treatment consists of measures to lower the body temperature, including ice packs, and iced drinks by mouth. Intravenous fluids are usually necessary.
Heat stroke can be prevented. Patient education should focus on protective measures such as adequate hydration and ventilation and the wearing of proper clothing. Vigorous activities should not be undertaken in extremely hot weather.sun·stroke (sŭn'strōk), A form of heatstroke resulting from undue exposure to the sun's rays, probably caused by the action of actinic rays combined with high temperature; symptoms are those of heatstroke, but often without fever.
