Lesiones y agotamiento por calor en MA y RI<\/h2>\n

Las lesiones por calor son un continuo de enfermedades que van de leves a potencialmente mortales. Hay tres categor\u00edas b\u00e1sicas de lesiones por calor: calambres por calor, agotamiento por calor e insolaci\u00f3n. Los calambres y el agotamiento por calor son afecciones comunes que afectan a millones de personas cada a\u00f1o y que pueden prevenirse. La prevenci\u00f3n es clave, ya que el agotamiento por calor puede evolucionar r\u00e1pidamente a insolaci\u00f3n, que puede ser mortal, sin el tratamiento adecuado.<\/p>\n

Si usted cree que puede tener signos de agotamiento por calor o insolaci\u00f3n en Fall River, New Bedford, MA o sus alrededores, venga a Southcoast Health para un tratamiento r\u00e1pido y una atenci\u00f3n fiable.

Factores de riesgo y causas<\/h2>\n

Las lesiones por calor comienzan lentamente cuando el cuerpo no puede enfriarse adecuadamente durante el ejercicio o la actividad f\u00edsica. Los factores de riesgo de las lesiones por calor incluyen:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Edad: el cuerpo de los ni\u00f1os no regula el calor corporal tan bien como el de los adultos.<\/li>\n
  • Ropa: los colores oscuros, la ropa de cuerpo entero, las almohadillas pesadas y los cascos atrapan el calor y dificultan la refrigeraci\u00f3n.<\/li>\n
  • Deshidrataci\u00f3n: incluso una deshidrataci\u00f3n leve puede impedir que el cuerpo produzca sudor.<\/li>\n
  • Medio ambiente: temperatura del aire, humedad, velocidad del viento y exposici\u00f3n al sol.<\/li>\n
  • Grasa corporal elevada: la grasa corporal act\u00faa como aislante y dificulta el enfriamiento.<\/li>\n
  • Enfermedades: la fiebre actual o reciente y la anemia falciforme aumentan el riesgo de lesiones por calor.<\/li>\n
  • Medicamentos: el alcohol, los antidepresivos, los antihistam\u00ednicos, los antipsic\u00f3ticos, las benzodiacepinas, los betabloqueantes, los diur\u00e9ticos y los estimulantes afectan al nivel de hidrataci\u00f3n o a la capacidad del organismo para responder al calor.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    S\u00edntomas de agotamiento por calor e insolaci\u00f3n<\/h2>\n
