Can Temperate-Water Immersion Effectively Reduce Rectal Temperature in Exertional Heat Stroke Situations?: A Critically-Appraised Topic.
Authors: Truxton TT, Miller KC Abstract Clinical Scenario Exertional heat stroke (EHS) is a medical emergency which, if left untreated, can result in death. The standard of care for EHS patients includes confirmation of hyperthermia via rectal temperature (Trec) and then immediate cold-water immersion (CWI). While CWI is the fastest way to reduce Trec,(1,2) it may be difficult to lower and maintain water bath temperature in the recommended ranges (1.7°C-15°C [35°F-59°F])(1) because of limited access to ice and/or the bath being exposed to high ambient temperatures for long periods of time. Determining if Trec c...

Scientists confirm correlation between malignant hyperthermia and exertional heat stroke
(Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology) New research published online in The FASEB Journal may ultimately help athletes and trainers better understand who may be more at risk for heat stroke. In the report, scientists use animals to show that there is a link between the susceptibility to malignant hyperthermia (MH) and exertional heat stroke.

Dancing to death: a case of heat stroke - Nadesan K, Kumari C, Afiq M.
Heat stroke is a medical emergency which may lead to mortality unless diagnosed early and treated effectively. Heat stroke may manifest rapidly, hence making it difficult to differentiate it from other clinical causes in a collapsed victim.(1) We are prese...

JNK signaling is required for the MIP ‑1α‑associated regulation of Kupffer cells in the heat stroke response.
JNK signaling is required for the MIP‑1α‑associated regulation of Kupffer cells in the heat stroke response. Mol Med Rep. 2017 Jul 05;: Authors: Chen XJ, Tang ZZ, Zhu GG, Cheng Q, Zhang WK, Li HM, Fu W, Lu QP Abstract Severe heat stroke (HS) consists of extreme hyperthermia with thermoregulatory failure, leading to high morbidity and mortality. Liver injury is a complication of HS that is associated with inflammatory responses and Kupffer cells (KCs), which are resident macrophages in the liver that serve as a major source of inflammatory cytokines; however, the association and the underlying mech...

Thermoregulatory Response to Exercise After Exertional Heat Stroke.
This study aimed to determine the kinetics of increases in Tco among military subjects who had a history of EHS. METHODS: Forty subjects (38 males, mean age 28.4 ± 4.9 years, mean body mass index 24.9 ± 2.4) who had a history of EHS ran 8 km in full combat gear with continuous monitoring of Tco and heart rate. The run was a qualifying event for military service. Tco was assessed using an ingestible sensor (Cortemp HQ Inc., Palmetto, Florida). Maximum oxygen uptake (VO2max) was measured on the day before the run. FINDINGS: The mean performance time for the run was 44.6 ± 6.6 minutes achieved under mild climatic c...

Fatal Exertional Heat Stroke and American Football Players: The Need for Regional Heat-Safety Guidelines.
CONCLUSIONS:   The combination of lower exposure WBGTs and frequent extreme climatic values in milder climates during fatal EHSs indicates the need for regional activity-modification guidelines with lower, climatically appropriate weather-based thresholds. Established activity-modification guidelines, such as those from the American College of Sports Medicine, work well in the hotter climates, such as the southern United States, where hot and humid weather conditions are common.

Consensus Statement- Prehospital Care of Exertional Heat Stroke.
Authors: Belval LN, Casa DJ, Adams WM, Chiampas GT, Holschen JC, Hosokawa Y, Jardine J, Kane SF, Labotz M, Lemieux RS, McClaine KB, Nye NS, O'Connor FG, Prine B, Raukar NP, Smith MS, Stearns RL Abstract Exertional heat stroke (EHS) is one of the most common causes of sudden death in athletes. It also represents a unique medical challenge to the prehospital healthcare provider due to the time sensitive nature of treatment. In cases of EHS, when cooling is delayed, there is a significant increase in organ damage, morbidity, and mortality after 30 minutes, faster than the average EMS transport and ED evaluation window...

Exertional Heat Stroke, the Return to Play Decision, and the Role of Heat Tolerance Testing: A Clinician's Dilemma.
Abstract Exertional heat stroke (EHS) is a leading cause of preventable morbidity and mortality among both athletes and warfighters. Since current evidence suggests that the history of a prior event is an important risk factor for an EHS event, sports medicine providers can find post-EHS return to play/duty (RTP/D) decisions challenging. Heat tolerance testing is a tool that can help with such decisions by exposing the subject to a given heat load under controlled conditions to assess the presence or absence of heat tolerance. This special communication explores the challenge of the RTP/D after an EHS event and th...

Exertional Heat Stroke within Secondary School Athletics.
Abstract Exertional heat stroke (EHS) remains one of the leading causes of sudden death in sport despite clear evidence showing 100% survivability with the proper standards of care in place and utilized. Of particular concern are student athletes competing at the secondary school level, where the extent of appropriate health care services remains suboptimal compared with organized athletics at the collegiate level and higher. While rapid recognition and rapid treatment of EHS ensures survival, the adoption and implementation of these lifesaving steps within secondary school athletics warrant further discussion wit...
