Abstract:
Today, fever is diagnosed by looking at temperatures above 38o C (100.40 F). The same temperature is used to determine hyperthermia.
A fever is not a high body temperature. High body temperature is hyperthermia. Don't call them fever.
Patients with fever and low-temperature hypothermia are more likely to be assessed as hyperthermia when they lie unconscious in the sun and are re-warmed externally. The unconscious patient lying in the sun is brought to the nearest hospital. If only temperature is checked, hypothermia or fever cannot be identified.
Heat is not a fever-causing substance. Heat is a fever reducer by increasing blood flow. It is fundamentally wrong to determine fever by looking at the presence of fever-reducing substances in the body.
There is no similarity between what happens when there is a fever and what happens when there is hyperthermia, and they are contradictory
There is no need to look at body temperature to detect fever. Temperature rise is not only in fever.
Fever can be detected by measuring only the objects that occur only in the presence of fever and not in the absence of fever.
The following 5 things to identify fever with the help of a test or machine without the help of the patient.
1. Who made the fever?
2. Are prostaglandins found in excess?
3. Are TNF alpha found in excess?
4. Does the firing rate of w neurons decrease even at higher temperatures?
5. Does the firing rate of C neurons increase with increasing temperature?
