Readiness for enhanced therapeutic regimen management is a NANDA approved nursing diagnosis which is defined as "A pattern of regulating and integrating into daily living a program(s) for treatment of illness and its sequelae that is sufficient for meeting health-related goals and can be strengthened."
Gordon’s functional health patterns is a method devised by Marjory Gordon to be used by nurses in the nursing process to provide a more comprehensive nursing assessment of the patient.
Hyperthermia is generally diagnosed by the combination of unexpectedly high body temperature and a history that supports hyperthermia instead of a fever. [2] Most commonly this means that the elevated temperature has occurred in a hot, humid environment (heat stroke) or in someone taking a drug for which hyperthermia is a known side effect ...
Hyperthermia therapy (or hyperthermia, or thermotherapy) is a type of medical treatment in which body tissue is exposed to temperatures above body temperature, in the region of 40–45 °C (104–113 °F). Hyperthermia is usually applied as an adjuvant to radiotherapy or chemotherapy, to which it works as a sensitizer, in an effort to treat cancer.
Harwood added, “Even an adult would suffer hyperthermia and dehydration. "It's going to happen a lot faster for an infant, unfortunately, because of body surface area and the makeup of their ...
In a medical setting, mild hyperthermia is commonly called heat exhaustion or heat prostration; severe hyperthermia is called heat stroke. Heatstroke may come on suddenly, but it usually follows the untreated milder stages. Treatment involves cooling and rehydrating the body; fever-reducing drugs are useless for this condition.
An autopsy conducted on Nov. 29, found the child died as a result of of hyperthermia (overheating of the body). The child's extended exposure to extreme heat resulted in her death.
It covers research and clinical studies and trials on hyperthermia and other thermal therapies (e.g. thermal ablation, cryo therapies) which fall largely into the three main categories of clinical studies, biological studies, and physics/engineering studies on techniques of heat delivery and temperature measurement.
