AMS is pleased to announce the “Lecture of the Month” program from the Graduate Education Foundation.
August Lecture: Emergency Medicine/Trauma
Author:
Leslie Zun, MD, FAAEM
The purpose of this lecture is to define a variety of heat- and cold-related illnesses, their causes, and their treatment.
Describing and defining the mechanisms that lead to heat loss or heat gain – mainly imbalance between the two -- the author lists seven main heat-related diseases, and who is at risk for them. Predisposing factors include obesity, skin disorders, medications, age and exercise.
Focusing on heat cramps and heat exhaustion, how and when they occur, and how to treat them using fluid and salt replacement, the author emphasizes the importance of rapid intervention. The author concludes with a discussion of hypothermia, its signs and symptoms, predisposing factors, and treatment (by Airway, Breathing and Circulation – ABCs) as well as the several medical conditions that influence mortality rates.
