Maintain Your Cool When Helping Treat Heat Stroke in the ED
July 2025
Heat stroke is a hot topic due to recent Soc of Critical Care Medicine guidance...and summer temps are breaking records again.
Heat stroke occurs when patients can no longer control their body temperature...rising above 40°C (104°F) or more in as fast as 10 minutes...due to hot and humid weather, overexertion, or both.
It can be deadly...and emergency care is key. Patients may have hot and dry skin...confusion...seizures...or cardiac arrest. They can also have organ damage (muscle breakdown, kidney and/or liver failure, etc).
