Overview
Differentiating Heat stroke from other Diseases
Differentiation between 2 types of heat stroke (Classic vs Exertional) is based on history, clinical findings, and laboratory findings. The following table summarizes their differentiating feature.
| Characteristic | Exertional Heat Stroke | Classic Heat Stroke | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Age | Adults | Early childhood or elderly | |
| Health status | Healthy and athlete | Ill and debilitate | |
| Weather condition | Temperate or hot | Heat wave | |
| Activity | Sustained or heavy exertion | Sedentary | |
| Medications or drug use | Ergogenic aids, ecstasy, cocaine | Diuretics, β-blockers, antihistamines,
antidepressants | |
| Sweating | Present | Abscent | |
| Laboratory findings | Acid-base disturbance | Metabolic acidosis | Mixed metabolic and respiratory acidosis |
| Calcium | |||
| Potassium | |||
| Phosphate | |||
| Blood glucose | |||
Heat stroke must be differentiated from other conditions that may cause hyperthermia.
