Severe heat stroke with dyselectrolytemia—Intravascular treatment approach

Abstract

Heatstroke is a severe heat-related illness that involves an elevation in body temperature greater than 40°C. It is a life threatening condition resulting from prolonged exposure to high temperatures leading to failure of body’s thermoregulatory mechanisms. The patient may have clinical signs of central nervous system dysfunction that may include confusion, ataxia, delirium, or seizures that are brought on after strenuous physical exertion or exposure to hot weather.
