Hyperthermia - overview of causes
Hyperthermia could result in life threatening multi organ failure. In this video we'll go through the causes of hyperthermia.
Check out my last video on the complications and treatment: • Hyperthermia - complications & treatment
Note that hyperthermia is defined as an elevated body temperature, without an increase in hypothalamic setpoint in response to inflammation. Meaning it's different from fever! As mentioned in the video, this definition is a bit outdated, but it's conceptually a lot easier to remember, so we're going with this one. But you'll find overlap.
