Certain factors can impact the body's ability to self-regulate temperature, including age, certain chronic conditions, and some medications. This presentation will review medications that increase the risk for medication-induced heat pathology and the importance of creating a list of those medications.

Educational Objectives

• Review thermoregulation and the body's natural compensatory mechanisms
• List chronic conditions that potentially inhibit the body's compensatory mechanisms
• Discuss the utility of an acetylcholine burden scale for developing a Medication-Induced Heat Pathology Medication List
