Know What These Heat-Related Terms Mean: Heat cramps: Heat cramps are muscular pains and spasms due to heavy exertion. Although heat cramps are the least severe, they are an early signal that the body is having trouble with the heat. Heat exhaustion: Heat exhaustion typically occurs when people exercise heavi ly or work in a hot, humid place where body fluids are lost through heavy sweating. sweat-ing. Blood flow to the skin increases, causing blood flow to decrease to the vital organs. This results in a form of mild shock. If not treated, the victim may suffer heat stroke. Signals of heat exhaustion include cool, moist, pale flushed or red skin; heavy sweating; headache; nausea or vomiting; vomit-ing; dizziness; and exhaustion. exhaus-tion. Body temperature will be near normal. Heat stroke: Also known as sunstroke, heat stroke is life-threatening. The victim's temperature control system, which produces pro-duces sweating to cool the body, stops working. The body temperature can rise so high that brain damage and death may result if the body is not cooled quickly. Signals include hot, red and dry skin; changes in consciousness; con-sciousness; rapid, weak pulse; and rapid, shallow breathing. Body temperature can be very high - sometimes as high as 1050 F. General Care for Heat Emergencies: Heat cramps or heat exhaustion: Get the person to a cooler place and have him or her rest in a comfortable com-fortable position. If the person per-son is fully awake and alert, give half a glass of cool water every 15 minutes. Do not let him or her drink too quickly. Do not give liquids that contain alcohol or caffeine. caf-feine. Remove or loosen tight clothing and apply cool, wet cloths, such as towels or sheets. Call 9-1-1 or the local emergency number if the person refuses refus-es water, vomits or loses consciousness. Heat stroke: Heat stroke is a life-threatening situation! Help is needed fast. Call 9-1-1 or your local emergency number. Move the person to a cooler place. Quickly cool the body. Immerse victim in a cool bath, or wrap wet sheets around the body and fan it. Watch for signals of breathing breath-ing problems. Keep the person per-son lying down and continue contin-ue to cool the body any way you can.
