A insolação é uma forma especial de intermação causada pela intensa exposição ao sol na cabeça descoberta. Isso pode ocorrer, mas não necessariamente, durante trabalho ao ar livre ou atividade física. Os sintomas incluem irritação meníngea, dor de cabeça, confusão, tontura, bem como náusea ou vômito. Assim como na intermação, a insolação é uma emergência médica com risco de vida, clinicamente definida como uma temperatura retal frequentemente, mas nem sempre, acima de 40,5°C, caracterizada por alterações do sistema nervoso central, como confusão, delírio, convulsões, bem como sinais concomitantes de falência de sistemas orgânicos. | |||
