My OperaSYMPTOMS OF HEAT STROKE
By ELIJAH UWAKARHIOMIEN OTORELIDEVIRUS. Saturday, May 5, 2012 10:45:07 PM
Symptoms of heat stroke:
extremely high core temperature of up to
41°C (106°F)
hot, red, dry skin
rapid pulse
rapid, shallow breathing
headache
confusion, strange behaviour
possible loss of consciousness
Someone with heat stroke has stopped
sweating, due to a failure in his or her heat
control system.
High core temperatures damage the
internal organs, especially the brain. The
fluid loss can also produce dangerously
low blood pressure. Most people who are
killed by heat stroke die when their heart
stops pumping effectively (circulatory
failure). Even people who survive are likely
to have permanent brain damage if their
core temperature has been over
40.6°C (105°F) for more than an hour or
two.

Diagnosing Heat Stroke
Heat stroke is diagnosed by looking at signs
and symptoms, such as body temperature,
and finding out about the person's recent
activities..
Treating and Preventing Heat
Stroke
Heat stroke is a medical
emergency. Learn to recognize the
symptoms listed above and take the
appropriate action. The heat stroke victim
needs to see a doctor as soon as possible,
but the first step is to get the core
temperature under control.
If you suspect someone has heat
stroke, begin treating them
immediately while someone else
calls a paramedic . Everything must be done
to cool the heat stroke victim immediately.
The best solution is to remove them from the
sun, immerse the body in cold water, such
as a river, stream, or bathtub. Otherwise,
remove most of their clothes, douse them
with water, and fan them vigorously.
Wrapping in wet sheets can help increase
the rate of heat loss.
