| In hyperthermia (heat stroke) caused by high-temperature
environment or disturbance of thermolysis,
the thermogenesis of infants is suppressed
to make core body temperature lower. An infant
in hyperthermia(heat storke) is in sleep,
decreases body movement, relaxes the muscles,
and sweats. Those behaviours are the mechanism
itself of thermoregulation of infants. An
Infant in heat stroke sleeps more deeply
than usual, as a result, his/her respiration
is more inhibited and hypoxemia is advanced
gradually. The hypoxemia of the infant is
more advanced, adding increased oxygen consumption
in high-environmental temperature. For the
infant in such conditions mentioned above,
the catecholamines are suppressed and it
causes cardiac dysfuncion. |
