Question

which actions will the nurse anticipate taking for a patient who has been working outside on a summer day and now is minimally responsive and has hypotension, body temperature of 106

Answer 1

Change the environment's temperature or move the patient somewhere warmer. Dry off the patient and the bed sheets.

If the temperature is 32.8°C (91°F). External cooling devices or cold normal saline infusions are utilized to quickly reduce body temperature to 89.6° to 93.2° F (32° to 34° C) when therapeutic hypothermia is used postresuscitation.

What is therapeutic hypothermia ?

• Treatments to lower body temperature include therapeutic hypothermia. This lessens injuries and ongoing issues. It is occasionally applied to patients who experience cardiac arrest. When the heart abruptly stops beating, cardiac arrest occurs.
• The difficulties brought on by hypothermia are intended to be avoided through induced hypothermia. It is mostly utilized in neonatal encephalopathy, head injuries, and survivors of cardiac arrest who are comatose. The prevention of cerebral reperfusion injury is suggested to be a mediator for the mechanism of action.
