- Disruption of the body's ability to thermoregulate can lead to temperatures that are too low (hypothermia) or too high (hyperthermia). Slight temperature variations can be reversible with behavior changes and physiologic responses, while extreme variations can ultimately lead to organ failure, coma, and/or death.

Apr 1, 2016 · The first is thermoregulatory disorders, which are disorders of the autonomic nervous system that impair the pathways involved in thermoregulation. Whereas these disorders sometimes present with symptoms related to heat or cold stress, more often the thermoregulatory deficit is incidental to symptoms and provides colocalizing information that ...

Aug 19, 2022 · Human temperature regulation during heat stress relies predominantly on sweat production and its evaporation. At air temperatures ≥34°C, a temperature at which there is little to no dry heat exchange between the body and the environment and above which heat will be gained from the environment, the evaporation of sweat becomes the only means ...
Hypothermia, defined as a core temperature of <35.0°C, may present with shivering, respiratory depression, cardiac dysrhythmias, impaired mental function, mydriasis, hypotension, and muscle dysfunction, which can progress to cardiac arrest or coma. Management includes warming measures, hydration, and cardiovascular support.
