Hyperthermia

Definition: body temperature rises above the normal range
Limitation Characteristics:

    
rise in body temperature above normal range
    
attacks or convulsions (seizures)
    
skin redness
    
accretion RR
    
tachycardia
    
hands feel warm to the touch
Factors related factors:
- Disease / trauma
- Increased metabolism
- Excess activity
- The influence of medication / anesthesia
- Inability / reduced ability to sweat
- Exposure to hot environment
- Dehydration
- Inappropriate clothing
NOC: Thermoregulation
Results Criteria:
- Body temperature within normal range
- Nadi and RR in the normal range
- No change in skin color and no dizziness, feeling comfortable
NIC:
Fever Treatment

    
Monitor the temperature as often as possible
    
Monitor IWL
    
Monitor skin color and temperature
    
Monitor blood pressure, pulse, and RR
    
Monitor decreased level of consciousness
    
Monitor WBC, Hb, and Hct
    
Monitor intake and output
    
Give anti piretik
    
Provide treatment to address the causes of fever
    
Blanket patients
    
Do tapid sponge
    
Give intravenous fluids
    
Compress the patients in the groin and axilla
    
Improve air circulation
    
Provide treatment to prevent shivering
Temperature regulation

    
Monitor temperature of at least every 2 hours
    
Plan for continuous temperature monitoring
    
Monitor BP, pulse, and RR
    
Monitor skin color and temperature
    
Monitor signs and hypothermia Hipertermi
    
Increase fluid intake and nutrition
    
Patients blanket to prevent loss of body warmth
    
Teach the patient how to prevent fatigue due to heat
    
Discuss the importance of temperature regulation and the possible negative effects of cold
    
Inform about the indication of fatigue and required emergency treatment
    
Teach indication of hypothermia and handling required
    
Give anti piretik if necessary
Vital sign monitoring

    
Monitor BP, pulse, temperature, and RR
    
Note the presence of fluctuations in blood pressure
    
Monitor VS when the patient lying down, sitting, or standing
    
Auscultation TD on both arms and compare
    
Monitor BP, pulse, RR, before, during, and after activity
    
Monitor the quality of the pulse
    
Monitor respiratory rate and rhythm
    
Monitor lung sounds
    
Monitor abnormal breathing patterns
    
Monitor temperature, color, and moisture
    
Monitor peripheral cyanosis
    
Monitor presence of Cushing's triad (a widened pulse pressure, bradycardia, increased systolic)
    
Identify the causes of changes in vital signs
