Exertional Heat Stroke Survival at the Falmouth Road Race: 180 New Cases With Expanded Analysis

CONCLUSIONS: This is the second-largest civilian database of EHS cases ever reported; however, when combined with the previous dataset of EHS survivors from this race, it amounts to 454 EHS cases resulting in 100% survival. WBGT remains a strong predictor of EHS and EHI cases. These findings support that a wide range of ages and sexes can be treated with CWI with 100% survival from EHS.PMID:37655801 | DOI:10.4085/1062-6050-0065.23
