CASE OF SEVERE HEAT-STROKE; RECOVERY.

Severe heat stroke with multiple organ dysfunction

Second, why were conventional cooling techniques terminated after 8 hours when the graph (Figure 1 in the report by Broessner and coworkers [1]) indicates that body temperature was effectively lowered to below 39°C (the initial goal in treatment of heat stroke)? We question the cooling technique, because aggressive conventional cooling in the intensive care unit should achieve 39°C within 1 hou...

Case report: severe heat stroke with multiple organ dysfunction – a novel intravascular treatment approach

INTRODUCTION We report the case of a patient who developed a severe post-exertional heat stroke with consecutive multiple organ dysfunction resistant to conventional antipyretic treatment, necessitating the use of a novel endovascular device to combat hyperthermia and maintain normothermia. METHODS A 38-year-old male suffering from severe heat stroke with predominant signs and symptoms of enc...

Rhabdomyolysis and Acute Kidney Injury due to Severe Heat Stroke

We present a case of heat stroke (HS) and acute kidney injury (AKI) due to severe rhabdomyolysis in a 14-year-old previously healthy female patient. When she was practicing strenuous exercise she suffered acute seizures and high fever. These symptoms were followed by coma and multiple organ failure (MOF), which included AKI, encephalopathy, fulminant hepatic failure (FHF), and disseminated intr...
