The Effectiveness of a Standardized Ice-Sheet Cooling Method Following Exertional Hyperthermia

CONCLUSION: ISC increases the cooling rate of those recovering from exertional hyperthermia. With the observed cooling rate, we can extrapolate that ISC would reduce core temperature by ∼2 °C within 30 minutes during a case of EHS. We conclude that ISC provides a safe and effective alternative for the field where cold water immersion resources may not be readily available.PMID:35294018 | DOI:10.1093/milmed/usac047
