What is Emergency Medicine- In what ways can thermoregulation be compromised?
Central, peripheral, metabolic, or pharmacologic processes can all contribute to impairment. The hypothalamus is affected by a number of CNS processes, including degenerative and neoplastic diseases, which results in hypothermia. Acute spinal cord transection stops peripheral vasoconstriction, which prevents the body from retaining heat. Thermoregulation can also be hampered by the aberrant plasma osmolality that is typical of metabolic disorders such diabetic ketoacidosis and uremia. Finally, a variety of drugs and poisons, whether in hazardous or therapeutic dosages, can disrupt CNS thermoregulation.
