Regulation of body temperature involves thermosensors, the central nervous system (CNS) and thermoregulatory effectors. Heat exhaustion and heatstroke should be considered extremes of a spectrum of response to heat stress. Immediate cooling is the cornerstone of management of heatstroke.

Heat-related illness is a set of preventable conditions ranging from mild forms (e.g., heat exhaustion, heat cramps) to potentially fatal heat stroke. Hot and humid conditions challenge cardiovascular compensatory mechanisms. Once core temperature reaches 104°F (40°C), cellular damage occurs, initiating a cascade of events that may lead to organ ...

Prevention of Heat-Related Illness
The Journal for Nurse Practitioners, 2007Abstract Heat-related illnesses, especially heat stroke, are a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in vulnerable persons during prolonged heat spells in temperate climates. Heat stroke produces a classic triad of symptoms: anhidrosis, temperature above 40°C (105°F), and mental changes.

Triathletes, like all athletes engaged in sustained physical activity, generate body heat through well-described energy processes. And when these phenomena are compounded by environmental factors such as heat loading, thermoregulatory mechanisms are seriously challenged and innate mechanisms of heat dissipation are rapidly invoked.

Heat-related illness and the automobile
Annals of Emergency Medicine, 1982To evaluate the heat burden in parked cars, a study was done to measure inside car temperatures in different situations. A large car and a small car were parked in direct sunlight and in shade. In direct sun, the highest temperatures recorded in the small and large cars were 78 C and 65 C, respectively.

Heat-related illness in children
Clinical Pediatric Emergency Medicine, 2001Abstract Summer heat is responsible for a significant number of illnesses and emergency department visits. Although more common in elderly patients, infants, children, and adolescents are also vulnerable. Those involved in the care of pediatric patients need to be aware of the differences in physiology and behavior, as well as predisposing factors ...

Environmental heat-related illnesses.
Medsurg nursing : official journal of the Academy of Medical-Surgical Nurses, 1997Environmental heat-related deaths and illnesses in the United States are considered preventable. Through proper education, planning, and hydration, hundreds of individuals would not succumb to heat-related illness.
