MODULE DESIGN Goal: At the end of the health education, the educators will be able to orient the participants about Cerebrovascular Accident Heat Stroke Theme/Title: Topic: Cerebrovascular Accident Heat Stroke Training Venue: MM205-SPUP Campus Date: May 12 2011 Time: 3:30 pm Participants: BSN 1C students OBJECTIVES At the end of the health education, the participants will be able to: 1. Identify what is Heat Stroke (CVA) HEAT STROKE (CVA) Heatstroke is the most severe form of heat-related problems, often resulting from exercise / heavy work in hot & humid environments combined with inadequate fluid intake. Heat stroke is also known as sunstroke, thermic fever, or siriasis. It happens when the body's Short Video Presentation with Discussion 3 minutes Arriane Langcay and Faye Video Clip, Speakers, Nang Laptop and Visual Aids CONTENT METHODOLOGY TIME FRAME PERSONS RESPONSIBLE MATERIALS NEEDED EVALUATION

mechanisms for controlling temperature fail. It is a severe form of hyperthermia. It is described as the bodys temperature of 40.6C There are two types of heat stroke: Classic, Non-exertional heat stroke (NEHS) and Exertional heat stroke (EHS). Classic heat stroke occurs most commonly to young and old people due to age-physiological conditions while Exertional Heat Stroke happens to people who perform strenuous activities in hot conditions. 2. Determine the causes and effects of Heat Stroke Causes:
a. Working or exercising

using heavy clothing in hot conditions or weather without drinking enough fluids b. Substances that inhibit cooling and cause dehydration c. Age related physiological changes People with the following conditions are especially prone to

4. Demonstrate The only solution for heat stroke first aid for Heat victims is to COOL THE Stroke patients PERSON DOWN. You must: a. Assure that the victim has an open airway and is breathing (apply the ABCs of First Aid: Aairway B-breathing Ccirculation) b. Move the victim to a cooler environment immediately

c. Remove the victims clothing d. Put ice on the victims armpits, groin and neck area e. Bathe or soak the victim in cool (but not cold) water if possible f. The victim should be hydrated either orally or intravenously Visual Aids 5. Identify the preventive measures for Heat Stroke Prevent Heat Stroke by: a. Using light, loose-fitting clothing b. Avoiding vigorous activities on hot weather conditions and enclosed spaces c. Checking your blood pressure at least once a year d. Drinking 6-8 glasses of water a day e. Avoiding direct sun exposure Discussion 3 minutes Arriane Langcay, Faye Nang
