Resumo: | In nursing, temperature is one of the first vital signs in the patients’ evaluation, monitoring and clinical evolution. Temperature maintenance is basic for the functioning of the organism even when room and environmental temperature varies. When the patient is exposed to temperature variations, several regulatory mechanisms are triggered by the hypothalamus’s regulatory centers. In the case of coldness, physiological and compensatory phenomena are set forth, including peripheral vasoconstriction, increase in cell metabolism and shivering. However, the limitations of such processes in extreme situations may give rise to hypothermia which may lead to severe dysfunction and death if not well cared for. On the other hand, hypothermia may be employed in medical practice for the treatment of severe diseases and also during surgical procedures. Current analysis deals with human thermo-regulation, physiological and pathological changes in response to coldness and its applications and implications in medical practice. |

A manutenção da temperatura é fundamental para o funcionamento do organismo e acontece mesmo quando a temperatura do ambiente varia. Quando o indivíduo é exposto a variações de temperatura, são acionados mecanismos de regulação através de centros regulatórios do hipotálamo. Em resposta ao frio, são desencadeados fenômenos compensatórios e alterações fisiológicas que incluem vasoconstrição periférica, aumento do metabolismo celular e calafrios. Entretanto, as limitações desses processos em situações extremas podem resultar em hipotermia que, se não tratada, pode levar à disfunção severa e morte. Por outro lado, a hipotermia pode ser utilizada nas condutas médicas para o tratamento de situações ou agravos de doenças e também durante procedimentos cirúrgicos. Este trabalho aborda a termorregulação humana, as alterações fisiológicas e patológicas em resposta ao frio e as aplicações e implicações do uso da hipotermia na prática médica.Universidade Cesumar - UniCesumar2011-07-08info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionRevisão de Literaturaapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.unicesumar.edu.br/index.php/saudpesq/article/view/1724Saúde e Pesquisa; Vol 5 No 1 (2012): jan./abr.Saúde e Pesquisa; v. 5 n. 1 (2012): jan./abr.2176-9206reponame:Saúde e Pesquisa (Online)instname:Cesumar Diretoria de Pesquisainstacron:CESUMARporhttps://periodicos.unicesumar.edu.br/index.php/saudpesq/article/view/1724/1560Franceschini, NatáliaFurlan, Maria Montserrat Diaz Pedrosainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2020-09-04T21:20:27Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/1724Revistahttps://periodicos.unicesumar.edu.br/index.php/saudpesqPUBhttps://periodicos.unicesumar.edu.br/index.php/saudpesq/oainaep@cesumar.br2176-92061983-1870opendoar:2020-09-04T21:20:27Saúde e Pesquisa (Online) - Cesumar Diretoria de Pesquisafalse |
