• Definition

heat-related illness, an abnormally
elevated body temperature with
accompanying physical symptoms
including changes in the nervous system
function.
Symptoms of heat stroke

• Altered mental status (e.g., confusion,


belligerence, or unconsciousness);
• Skin that is typically hot and dry;
• Rapid breathing and rapid pulse; and
hypotension.
• Body temperature usually is elevated to 40.6°
C (105° F) or greater. These high temperatures
damage almost every organ in the body,
including the liver, kidneys, lungs, heart, and
muscle tissues.
• A grand mal seizure may be a lethal
complication.
• Equipment

1. Fluids for rehydration

2. Ice or cold water

5. Disposable non sterile gloves and an


impermeable plastic trash bag

Immediate First Aid for Heat stroke:

7. Assess the patient’s cardiopulmonary status,


and evaluate for signs and symptoms of heat

stroke.

8. Measure vital signs

9. Open the patient’s airway as necessary; keep


the patient’s legs elevated.
10. Cool the patient’s body as quickly as possible in the
following manner:
a. Remove the clothing; spray the entire body with water
while air is passed across the body with fans or by other
means.
b. If necessary, immerse the patient in cold water or pack
him or her in ice; place ice packs in the axillae and groin
areas and fan the patient; wet down the body with sheets
or towels (keep the clothes wet with cool water)
11. Continue the cooling procedure until the patient’s
temperature drops to 102° F (38.9° C). Stop at this point
to prevent seizures and hypothermia.

12. Do not give the person anything per mouth.

13. Activate Emergency medical services (EMS) if the


patient experiences unstable cardiopulmonary status or
decreased level of consciousness. Stay with the patient
until EMS assumes responsibility.
