What is Managing Hyperthermia in Patients about?
This document provides guidelines for caring for patients experiencing hyperthermia. It recommends monitoring room temperature and bed linens, gradually exposing skin to cool air to lower body heat, and modifying cooling based on patient response to avoid shivering. It also suggests raising bed rails, giving fluids and a high calorie diet, administering antipyretic medications, and using chlorpromazine and diazepam if shivering is excessive to safely lower an increased body temperature.
