  • Title: Heat-related illness.
    Author: Atha WF.
    Journal: Emerg Med Clin North Am; 2013 Nov; 31(4):1097-108. PubMed ID: 24176481.
    Abstract:
    Environmental exposure to high temperatures can result in abnormalities ranging from mild heat exhaustion to heat stroke with multiorgan system failure. An understanding of the mechanisms of thermoregulation and how those mechanisms fail with extreme heat stress is critical for management of the patient with elevated body temperature in the emergency department.
