Injuries and poisonings

Cold trauma

Exposure to cold can cause a decrease in body temperature (hypothermia) and local soft tissue damage.

Heatstroke: First Aid

Thermal shock is hyperthermia accompanied by a systemic inflammatory reaction that causes multiple organ failure and often death. It is manifested by an increase in body temperature above 40 ° C and a mental disorder; sweating is often absent.

Thermal exhaustion of the body

Thermal exhaustion is not a life-threatening clinical syndrome characterized by general weakness, malaise, nausea, syncope, and other nonspecific symptoms associated with heat exposure. In this case, the thermoregulation is not violated.

Heat convulsions

Thermal convulsions are muscle-related muscle contractions that occur during or after physical exertion in conditions of high ambient temperature.

Overheating

Thermal effects disrupt many physiological functions and can lead to dehydration. Most people in this situation experience mild, but unpleasant symptoms, although in some cases they can vary from swelling and seizures to fainting and heat stroke.

Spider bites: what to do, first aid

The spider bite is something that can wait for summer residents, lovers of agriculture and gardening, as well as tourists and fans of outdoor recreation. Given that the spring-summer and tourist, the hiking season is already open, the risk of suffering from a spider bite increases.

Bites of poisonous lizards, crocodiles and iguanas

Significant bites of other reptiles include bites of poisonous lizards, alligators, crocodiles and iguanas.

Treatment of bites of poisonous snakes: antidote

Immediately after the bite, the victim must move away from the snake to a safe distance or it must be moved to this distance.

Diagnosis of bites of poisonous snakes

Along with the clinical manifestations of poisoning with snake venom, the final diagnosis requires the determination of the species of the snake.

Symptoms of bites of poisonous snakes

The snake's bite, poisonous or not, usually causes horror in the victim, often with vegetative manifestations (eg, nausea, vomiting, tachycardia, diarrhea, sweating), which are difficult to distinguish from systemic manifestations of poisoning.
