Annals of Internal Medicine
Climate change is anticipated to continue to adversely affect public health, with heat stress the predominant threat. Accordingly, heat-related illness is predicted to increase as extremely hot days become more frequent. Heat stroke, the most serious heat-related illness, is a medical emergency that may be fatal if it is not promptly recognized ...

Emergency Medicine Clinics of North America, 2013
Environmental exposure to high temperatures can result in abnormalities ranging from mild heat exhaustion to heat stroke with multiorgan system failure. An understanding of the mechanisms of thermoregulation and how those mechanisms fail with extreme heat stress is critical for management of the patient with elevated body temperature in the emergency ...

Heat-Related Illness in Athletes
The American Journal of Sports Medicine, 2007Heat stroke in athletes is entirely preventable. Exertional heat illness is generally the result of increased heat production and impaired dissipation of heat. It should be treated aggressively to avoid life-threatening complications. The continuum of heat illness includes mild disease (heat edema, heat rash, heat cramps, heat syncope), heat exhaustion,

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.

During the hot, humid months of summer, heat-related illnesses are common. Many of these are minor and self-limited, but heatstroke is a true emergency because the body's cooling mechanisms have been overwhelmed. The condition must be recognized rapidly and treated immediately with fluid replacement and cooling.

Clinical Pediatric Emergency Medicine, 2007
Heat-related illnesses encompass disorders ranging from minor syndromes to life-threatening emergencies. The number of children suffering from heat-related illness is increasing. Because of physiologic differences and unique behavioral characteristics, children are at high risk for suffering heat-related illnesses.

Treatment of Heat-Related Illness
JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1981To the Editor.— The current heat wave in the sun-belt area has prompted the following comments on therapy for heat stroke. My interest in this subject stems from my service in the Iranian Dessert from 1942 to 1944. One of my tasks was supervision of our heat stroke centers.
