Overview
High body temperature (hyperthermia) and dysfunction of the CNS must coexist for the confirmation of the diagnosis of heat stroke. A history of an existing disease, outdoor activity, exposure to heat, extensive exertion and improper hydration may be observed.[1][2][3]
History
A detailed history is necessary for the prompt diagnosis of heat stroke. The patient with heat stroke may hav ethe following salient features in the history:[3][4][5]
Non-exertional or Classic Heat Stroke
The history of a patient with classic heat stroke inludes:[6][7][8][9]
- Old age
- Chronic condition effecting thermo-regulation
- Cardiovascular illness
- Alcohol use
- Coacine use
8Prescription drugs
- Beta blockers
- Diuretics
- Anticholinergics
- Anhidrosis
- Dysability
- Obesity
- Job in hot surroundings
- Cooking
- Iron molding
- Thermal plants
Exertional Heat Stroke
- Young age
