Safety: Hot Whether InjuriesHEAT STROKE occurs when the body's
system of temperature regulation fails andbody temperature rises to critical levels. This
condition is caused by a combination of
highly variable factors, and its occurrences
difficult to predict. Heat stroke is a medical
emergency. The primary signs andsymptoms of heat stroke are confusion;
irrational behavior; loss of consciousness;
convulsions; a lack of sweating (usually);
hot, dry skin; and an abnormally high bodytemperature, e.g., a rectal temperature of
40.5C (105F).. If body temperature is toohigh, it may result in death. Individuals with
heat stroke have high mortality, with rates
ranging from 21 to 63 percent. The elevated
metabolic temperatures caused by a
combination of work load and environmental
heat load, both of which contribute to heatstroke, are also highly variable and difficult
to predict. If a person shows signs of possible
heat stroke, professional medical treatment
should be obtained immediately. The personshould be placed in a shady area and the outer
clothing should be removed. The person's
skin should be wetted and air movement
around the person should be increased toimprove evaporative cooling until
professional methods of cooling are initiated
and the seriousness of the condition can be
assessed. Fluids should be replaced as soon aspossible. The medical outcome of an episodeof heat stroke depends on the victim's
physical fitness and the timing and
effectiveness of first aid treatment.Regardless of the person's protests, no
member suspected of being ill from heat
stroke should be sent home or left unattended.
Be Safe.
