Fever over 40°C is known as hyperpyrexia. It can be caused by infections, inflammatory diseases, disturbances in temperature regulation centers, dehydration, or effects of drugs or toxins. Symptoms include increased heart rate, oxygen use, respiration, and pulse. Other symptoms are headache, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, and potential brain damage if temperature is not controlled. Management involves bed rest, reducing body temperature, maintaining electrolyte and fluid balance, oral hygiene, light diet, and prevent constipation. Abdominal distention can be caused by constipation, gastroenteritis complications, intestinal obstructions, volvulus, atresia, or imperforate anus. Symptoms

temperature 40c is called….. CAUSES • Infection • Inflammatory disease • Disturbance in temperature regulator center • Dehydration • Effects of drug or toxins • Sign and symptoms: • Due to high fever cardiac out put, o2 use,respiration,pulse are increased. • head ache,nausea,vomiting, • Loss of apetite,------if temperature is not normal it will may brain damage. • Convulsion,delirium,sweating,skin dry,thirsty,dehydration • ASSESSMENT: • Age monitoring • Observe fever pattern • Length of illness • Symptoms record • History of recent immunization • Recent use of drug. • Management: • bed rest,body ..tem. Reduce to provide fresh environment,tepid spong with tap water • Eletrolyte balance,adequate fluid to prevent dehydration-heat loss-wast product remove • Oral hygine-dress cotton cloth—in diet give light food(milk,egg,cereals,soft cook food) • Prevent constipation—recreational and diversional therapy should give. ABDOMINAL DISTENTION • CAUSE: • Constipation with ineffective peristalsis • Complication of gastro enteritis such as paralytic ilheus • Intestinal obstruction obstruction/round worm obstruction. • Volvulus (dilation of large intestine) • Intestinal atresia • Imperforate anus • Assessment: • Clinical manifestation: • high fever—vomiting—refusal of food—visible peristalsis—crying with scream—increased respiration— abdominal pain… • Management: • Flatus tube to remove gas • Oil enema or rectal suppository • If obstruction is there then insert NG tube ans aspirate continuous drainage to reduc stomach pressure. • Dehydration treat.
