Mortality in 13 French cities during the August 2003 heat wave. (1/3)
We observed the daily trend in mortality rates during the 2003 heat wave in 13 of France's largest cities. Mortality data were collected from July 25 to September 15 each year from 1999 through 2003. The conjunction of a maximum temperature of 35 degrees C and a minimum temperature of 20 degrees C was exceptional in 7 cities. An excess mortality rate was observed in the 13 towns, with disparities from +4% (Lille) to +142% (Paris). (+info)Municipal heat wave response plans. (2/3)
Approximately 400 people die from extreme heat each year in the United States, and the risk of heat waves may increase as a result of global climate change. Despite the risk of heat-related morbidity and mortality, many cities lack written heat response plans. In a review of plans from 18 cities at risk for heat-related mortality, we found that many cities had inadequate or no heat response plans. This is an important area for further investigation and government attention. (+info)Heat-related illness. (3/3)
Heat-related illness is a set of preventable conditions ranging from mild forms (e.g., heat exhaustion, heat cramps) to potentially fatal heat stroke. Hot and humid conditions challenge cardiovascular compensatory mechanisms. Once core temperature reaches 104 degrees F (40 degrees C), cellular damage occurs, initiating a cascade of events that may lead to organ failure and death. Early recognition of symptoms and accurate measurement of core temperature are crucial to rapid diagnosis. Milder forms of heat-related illness are manifested by symptoms such as headache, weakness, dizziness, and an inability to continue activity. These are managed by supportive measures including hydration and moving the patient to a cool place. Hyperthermia and central nervous system symptoms should prompt an evaluation for heat stroke. Initial treatments should focus on lowering core temperature through cold water immersion. Applying ice packs to the head, neck, axilla, and groin is an alternative. Additional measures include transporting the patient to a cool environment, removing excess clothing, and intravenous hydration. Delayed access to cooling is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in persons with heat stroke. Identification of at-risk groups can help physicians and community health agencies provide preventive measures. (+info)Sunstroke, also known as heatstroke, is a serious medical condition that occurs when the body becomes overheated, typically due to prolonged exposure to high temperatures. It is a form of hyperthermia, which means an abnormally high body temperature caused by the failure of the heat-regulating mechanisms of the body to deal with the heat coming from the environment.
In sunstroke, the body's core temperature rises above 40°C (104°F), which can lead to damage of the brain and other organs. It is more common in elderly people, infants, and those with chronic illnesses or who are taking certain medications.
Symptoms of sunstroke include high body temperature, rapid pulse, rapid breathing, headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, seizures, confusion, unconsciousness, and in severe cases, it can lead to death. If you suspect someone has sunstroke, seek immediate medical attention as it is a medical emergency that requires urgent treatment.
