Heat Stoke (hyperthermia) is a serious and life-threatening condition resulting in an elevated body temperature (105°F or higher) among other symptoms. Other life-threatening symptoms are respiratory distress, rapid and/or erratic heart rate, organ failure, coma, and death. Emergency medical care is required to save the person's life. (Heat stroke is not the same as heat exhaustion; both conditions are serious and require medical treatment.)

With heat stroke the body temperature can reach slightly over how many degrees?
106.
What is heart stroke?
Heat stroke occurs when the bodys cooling mechanisms fail, therfore causing body temperature to rise. Heat stroke usually occurs when the core body temperature reaches 38 degrees c or more. death occurs at 42 degrees c.
What is a heat stroke?
Heat Stroke- is a response to heat characterized by extremely high body temperature and disturbance of the sweating mechanism. it is a immediate life threatening emergency.
What happens if the body cannnot control its internal temperature?
Then go and find a doctor for consultation.
Immediate life threatening emergency caused by extremely high body temperature and the inability to sweat?
heat stroke
How do you spell hpythonza?
The likely word may be one of these:hypothermia - low core body temperaturehyperthermia - high body temperature (heat stroke)
What is preferred measure for heat stroke?
Quick cooling of the person. Heat stroke is not simply being exhausted. Your body has lost the ability to regulate temperature. Most heat stroke victims will have hot, DRY, red skin. Ice, cold water, applied liberally to the whole body. Get the person to medical care as soon as possible. Heat stroke can kill you or cause permanent brain damage.
What can heat stroke result in?
Due to the high internal temperature of heat stroke, permanent damage to internal organs is possible.
What to do if a suspect is suffering from heat stroke?
Immediately request medical assistance. Then, it is important to cool the victim's body temperature down immediately by submersing them into a tub of cold water. If you can cool their body temperature down within the first 30 minutes of the onset of a heat stroke, the victim has a much better chance of surviving without complications.
What Are Some Herbs To Help Regulate Body Temp And Prevent Heat Stroke?
None. Plenty of fluid intake & cooling the body if heat stroke is imminent with heat exhaustion. The body has a tremendous physiologic gain (safety factor) to keep it at 98.6F (37C). Indeed, one has to increase heat production 27 fold before body temperature goes up one degree Centigrade. Belief that "some herbs help regulate body temperature and prevent stroke" is erroneous and possibly dangerous to an individual who uses them and doesn't take realistic preventative measures to mind and use.
What is another name for heat stroke?
Another name for heat stroke is sun stroke. It is a serious condition that occurs when the body's temperature regulation system fails due to prolonged exposure to high temperatures. Symptoms can include confusion, dizziness, and a rapid pulse.
What to do if suspect a casualty is suffering from heat stroke?
Immediately request medical assistance. Then, it is important to cool the victim's body temperature down immediately by submersing them into a tub of cold water. If you can cool their body temperature down within the first 30 minutes of the onset of a heat stroke, the victim has a much better chance of surviving without complications.
