Heat exhaustion (aka heat stress) is hyperthermia (overheating) brought on by dehydration (excessive water loss). It can be brought on by hot environmental temperatures or limited fluids or inadequate salt intake.
Treatment for heat exhaustion includes:
- moving the victim to cooler, shaded location
- loosen/remove clothing
- apply ice packs: neck, groin, armpits
- drink 1-2 quarts of fluids
Contraindicated are old treatments which included alcohol bath/rub and administering salt tabs.
