Hyperthermia management
Exertional heat stroke (EHS) is a medical emergency defined as life-threatening hyperthermia (core body temperature exceeding 40°C) and central nervous system dysfunction, typically resulting from excessive physical exertion that overwhelms the body’s ability to regulate its temperature (Figure 1). Individuals engaged in strenuous activities, whether in occupational, sporting, military settings, or emergency response settings, are at increased risk of EHS
