Losses of fluid from any one source is reflected in the levels of all the body's other fluids: e.g. profuse sweating will ultimately result in decreased blood volume. If a patient loses enough fluid through any manner-bleeding, sweating, vomiting, or diarrhea-the end result is the same: dehydration and, potentially, volume shock. Adequate fluid is also critically important in hot environments to help our body thermoregulate (see Heat Illnesses page 00). Remember, dehydration can kill!

Where hypothermia is the reduction of normal body temperature by 2-1/2 degrees or more, heat injuries is when the body temperatures soars above normal, or the body loses it’s ability to regulate heat due to exertion or exposure to a hot climate. Just like hypothermia, the very old, the very young, and those with circulatory disorders are more likely to get heat related injuries.

   Extractions: Every year millions of children across the United States visit the outdoors with youth groups. It might be the Boy or Girl Scouts, a church, the YMCA, Adventure Quest, Civil Air Patrol, Boys and Girls Club, a school or college, or any other number of groups across America. Sadly every year thousands of children are injured and dozens are killed. Some of the injuries and deaths are tragic accidents, a bee sting that turns into anaphylactic shock, a boulder shifting unexpectedly pinning a teen, or an unexpected lightning strike. However many of these injuries and deaths could be avoided. Because children's bodies are still developing, and healthy children lack a lot of body fat, they are far more susceptible to several different outdoor related injuries than their adult leaders. Hypothermia, frostbite, dehydration, heat related injuries, and altitude sickness are all points of risk.

    Extractions: By Jack H. Olender, Esq. This article was published in The Washington Afro-American. F rom the shady tree-lined terraces of upper Northwest through the opened-hydrant streets of Southeast, to Rehoboth, Bethany and back, anyone who has ever spent a summer in the Washington metropolitan area knows first-hand the stifling, overwhelming, mindnumbing heat and humidity that engulfs the region this time of year: the temps in April and May that approach the mid-90's, followed by the record-breaking heat-waves in July, August and September that steadily climb into the low-100's with heat indexes 5 to 10 degrees higher. While summer conjures up the promise of parks, picnics, and lazy boating outings, it also camouflages the threat of a hidden menace, heat related injuries, which we quite often relegate to those society considers most vulnerable, our senior citizens. While the risk is highest among the elderly, heat-related exhaustion, stroke and death, under the right conditions, can affect healthy people of any age. Heat related illnesses occur when the body gains heat faster than it can dispose of it, and the illnesses can be rapidly brought on by exertion in poor atmospheric conditions. Any extended period of time spent in above average air temperatures can overwhelm the body's ability to cool itself and bring on the following conditions:

    Extractions: There are some simple guidelines which have been prepared by the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) when it comes to running activities in a hot environment. The goal in participating in hot weather is to avoid fluid loss from the body or dehydration. Water not only accounts for some 98% of our body composition, but functions to help deliver oxygen to working muscles, and keeps the body from overheating during strenuous activity. Hard working muscles generate heat which is dissipated through the act of sweating. Evaporation of sweat on the skin allows the body to get rid of this heat and cool it off. In looking at the objectives for advising officials and participates about this subject it seems that the following categories are

Win Awards A Hot Time An older man of about fifty was walking along the bank of the stream, fishing pole in hand, when suddenly he collapsed in a heap. His face was red and dry as he immediately started vomiting. He had been fishing since early morning, did not have any water with him, and the high Missouri heat had claimed another victim. Can you imagine his chances of surviving if he had been in a remote survival situation? Since he was experiencing heat stroke, he most likely he would not have made it under survival circumstances. It this case though, he was given first aid, an ambulance was called, and he was transported to a nearby hospital. He survived. Heat related injuries could happen to all of us, regardless of age. A heat stroke is caused by overexposure to the sun combined with a high body temperature. This situation can be life threatening if not treated immediately. The victim may have, A high body temperature Hot and flushed skin Red and perhaps dry skin Restless or bizarre behavior Complain of a severe headache, having vomiting, or nausea
