RESUMO

El golpe de calor es una entidad poco frecuente y subdiagnosticada. La elevación de la temperatura corporal es la que desencadena las disfunciones metabólicas que pueden incluso llevar a la muerte. Se presenta el caso de un militar que se encontraba realizando ejercicios de infantería, durante el mes de septiembre, en días donde se produjeron condiciones climáticas extremas y desarrolla un cuadro de Disfunción Orgánica Múltiple (DOM) primaria; fue llevado al Servicio de Emergencia del Hospital de Fray Bentos, Río Negro. La evolución inicial se caracterizó por deterioro de la función neurológica, respiratoria, necesidad de ventilación mecánica, falla renal aguda y disfunción hematológica; se establecieron los diagnósticos de golpe de calor, injuria renal, rabomiólisis, insuficiencia respiratoria aguda y coagulación intravascular diseminada (CID). A pesar del tratamiento y manejo de sostén tiene una mala evolución, falleciendo a las 48 horas del ingreso. El caso nos recuerda que la exposición a condiciones de calor por arriba de la temperatura corporal, deteriora los mecanismos de control de calor corporal y metabólico. Es necesario un diagnóstico rápido y un manejo de sostén para conseguir una evolución satisfactoria.


A heat stroke is a very rare and under diagnosed entity. The rise in the body’s temperature is the element that triggers the metabolic dysfunctions that can even lead to death. A case of a soldier is presented; this soldier was training, doing his infantry exercises routine, during September, in days were extreme climate situations were happening, installing a case of primary Multiple Organ Dysfunction (MOD) syndrome. The soldier was taken to the Emergency Service in Fray Bentos’ Hospital, in Rio Negro. The initial evolution was clumsy and slowly, and the neurologic and breathing functions were worsening, with acute renal failure, and also hematological dysfunction. In addition to this, the patient was in need of mechanic ventilation. The diagnosis of temperature shock, acute renal injury, Rhabdomyolysis, acute respiratory failure and disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) were established. Supportive care was given to the patient, with an un satisfactory development, leading to death 48 hours after the hospital admission. This case reminds us that, the exposure to weather conditions that are over the body temperature interferes in the metabolism and the body’s mechanisms for controlling heat. A quick diagnosis and supportive care are needed in order to achieve a satisfactory evolution.
