Prinsip Umum Penatalaksanaan Cedera Olahraga Heat Stroke

Exercises that are conducted in an extreme heat environment can cause heat injury. Heatinjury is associated with disturbance to temperature regulation and cardiovascular systems. Heatstroke is the most severe type of heat injury. Heat stroke is associated with high morbidity andmortality numbers, particularly if therapy treatment is delayed. In general, heat stroke is caused bytwo things, namely increase in heat production and decrease in heat loss.Heat stroke signs include: (1) rectal temperature above 40.5°C; (2) hypotension,tachycardia, tachypnea; (3) changes in mental status (e.g. irritability, ataxia, confusion,disorientation, syncope, hysteria, and coma); (4) reduced ability to lower body temperature (e.g.stop sweating and skin becoming hot); (5) signs of a life-threatening: disseminated intravascularcoagulant or DIC (e.g. epistaxis, bleeding from intravenous line, bruises, and pulmonary edema)and signs of Acute Renal Failure or ARF (e.g. peripheral edema). Symptoms of heat stroke includefatigue, headache, nausea, and vomiting.Management of heat stroke injuries is by continuously performing cooling down as quicklyas possible while resuscitating patient. Intensive care must be carefully considered to the respiratorytract, reducing body temperature, limiting the production of heat, optimizing air circulation andmonitoring and treating complications. Quick decrease in body temperature is the most importantthings in treatment
