  4. II. The Family CP • Introduction • Clinical History of the patient • Heat stroke • Family Assessment Tools • Results of Assessments • Impact of illness to the patient and the family • Family System Theories • Conclusion and Recommendations

  5. A. Introduction II. The Family CP

  6. Introduction • Purpose of the presentation • Why was this case chosen? • What points will the audience focus into? • Identifying data • Chief complaint • Patient’s most obvious concern • Concern of the main caretakers

  7. Purpose of the CP • Why was this case chosen? • A sudden situation • Timeliness • Family Medicine • PH significance

  8. Purpose of the CP • Purposes: • Re-evaluation/formulation of the problem • Development of a comprehensive treatment plan • Guidance on issues, impasses, sensitive events • Discussion of diagnostic features, therapeutic techniques or biopshycosocial dynamics

  9. Focus of the CP • Impact of illness to the patient and family • Coping mechanism • Family dynamics • Social resources

  10. Identifying Data • Remus Fuentes(R.F.) • 37 y/o, Male, Married with two young children • IT expert, HP employee, Metro Manila • No known co-morbidities

  11. Chief complaint (CC) • Loss of consciousness (LOC) • a concern of the family

  12. B. Clinical history of the patient II. The Family CP

  13. III. Clinical History of the Patient • Course of illness • History • PE • Diagnostics and Results • Diagnosis • Course in the ER, ICU

  14. Course of illness • History • PE • Diagnostics and Results • Diagnosis • Course in the ER, ICU

  15. Marathon • collapsed on 19.9km mark • taxied to Ospital ng Maynila • hyperthermic, and with seizures • given Paracetamol • intubated • family opted for transfer to Medical City

  16. Medical City • reintubated • worked up for metabolic, neurologic and cardiac causes • Impression after evaluation: Heat stroke -- treated accordingly • doctors informed wife about the condition, its possible consequences • consent for procedures

  17. Medical City • Patient initially stabilized • episodes of hypotension • BP of 50/30 despite being on maximum pressors • cardiac arrest • declared dead after 45 min of resuscitation

  18. C. Heat stroke II. The Family CP

  19. Heat Stroke • Definition • Epidemiology and Incidence • Pathophysiology • Differentials • Diagnostic work-ups • Management – pharma (include MOA if applicable) and non-pharma • Prognosis • Prevention • PH

  20. Heatstroke • Most severe and deadly heat-related illness • Definition: Body temp 41C assoc. w/ neurologic dysfunction • 2 types • Classic • Exertional heatstroke

  21. Epidemilogy and Incidence • Common in tropical countries  Philippines • Cases increase in hot and humid weather • Increase risk for people staying outdoors and dehydrated • No sex or race predilection • Higher risk for extremes of age

  22. Pathophysiology • Imbalance of heat gain and heat loss • Excessive heat  denatures proteins in body • HSP and inflammatory cascade  more damage to body

  23. Differentials • Amphetamine or cocaine toxicity • Myocardial infarction • Stroke • Delirium tremens

  24. Work-up • CBC • Cardiac markers • Urinalysis • Muscle function test (CK, lactate dehydrogenase) • ECG • CXR • CT scan

  25. Treatment • Medical EMERGENCY • THERAPEUTIC HYPOTHERMIA

  26. Treatment • Benzodiazipine • Hydration • Decrease temperature
