    Vasodilation

    • Widening of blood vessels; increases blood flow

    Physiologic Effects of Heat

    • Vasodilation, muscle relaxation, increased muscle contractility, increased blood flow, increased capillary permeability, increased cellular metabolism, reduced joint stiffness.

    Physiologic Effects of Cold

    • Vasoconstriction, muscle relaxation, decreased muscle contractility, decreased blood flow, decreased capillary permeability, slowed cellular metabolism, decreased inflammation, local anesthetic effect.

    Local Effect of Heat

    • Increases blood flow, promotes tissue healing, usually for musculoskeletal problems; arthritis, contractures, low back pain.

    Systemic Effect of Heat

    • May cause a drop in blood pressure and dizziness.

    Local Effect of Cold

    • Reduces blood flow to the area (vasoconstriction), prevents swelling, used for sports injuries (sprains, strains, fractures), reduces swelling and bleeding

    Systemic Effect of Cold

    • Increases blood pressure, may cause shivering

    • Warmed towel or gauze for localized heat

    Warm Soak

    • Immersion in warmed solution for treatment

    Sitz Bath

    • Warm water immersion used in perineal conditions

    Cold Progression Stages

    • Cold, stinging, burning, numbness

    Rebound Phenomenon

    • Body's response to abrupt temperature change in heat or cold therapy (e.g., vessels constrict in heat, then dilate in cold).

    Moist Cold

    • Cooling methods using water or compresses
    • Applications use ice or ice packs.

    Dry Cold

    • Devices for controlled heating, like hyperthermia blanket

    Hyperthermia Blanket

    • For controlled heating of the body, containing coils filled with a special cooling solution, to reduce high body temperature.

    Hypothermia Blanket

    • Special blanket containing cooling solution coils to reduce body temperature.

    Nursing Considerations

    • Assess risks and explain procedures to patients
    • Identify and apply appropriate contraindications

    Active Bleeding

    • Contraindication for heat or cold therapy

    Circulatory Impairment

    • Condition that increases risk during therapy

    Hyperthermia

    • Abnormally high body temperature

    Safety Considerations in Heat Therapy

    • Skin rash, burns, decreased blood pressure, increased heart rate, increased swelling and inflammation at the site of application; remove heat source and monitor patient for complications.
    • Assess temperature.

    Safety Considerations in Cold Therapy

    • Skin rash, burns, decreased blood pressure, increased heart rate; remove cold source and monitor patient for complications.
    • Assess temperature.

    Hypothermia

    • Abnormally low body temperature; skin rash, burns, decreased blood pressure, increased heart rate.
