Fluid-Related Problems

Heat balance can be described by the following equation:³⁴

S = M ± R ± K ± C - E ± WK

Heat balance (S) = metabolic heat production (M), as corrected for the net heat exchange by radiation (R), conduction (K), convection (C), and evaporation (E), and as further corrected by the amount of work performed (WK).

Dehydration

Heat Cramps

Heat Exhaustion

Heatstroke (Sunstroke)

Hyponatremia
