• #1 Heat Exhaustion: Symptoms & Treatment

  https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/21480-heat-exhaustion

  Heat exhaustion treatment involves cooling your body, hydrating and monitoring for signs of heat stroke. […] Treatment often begins on-site, wherever heat exhaustion happens this is because the faster you cool your body down, the better your chances of preventing a progression to heat stroke. […] If you have signs or symptoms of heat exhaustion, do these things right away: Call for medical help. Move to a cooler or shaded area. Loosen or remove excess clothes. Lie down with your legs elevated. Use any available means to cool your body like fanning yourself or soaking towels in ice water and applying them to your skin. Slowly sip water or other fluids. But do NOT drink anything if you suspect you might have heat stroke. Wait until help arrives. People with heat stroke are at risk of inhaling fluids (aspiration), which can be dangerous.

  Treatment of heat exhaustion involves stopping all exertion and removing patients to a cool environment, having them lie flat, and attempting oral rehydration with a solution of 0.1% sodium chloride. Patients should drink about 1 L/hour. If vomiting or nausea prevents oral rehydration, IV fluid and electrolyte replacement therapy, typically using 0.9% saline solution, is indicated. […] Also, if symptoms do not resolve after 30 to 60 minutes of oral rehydration, patients should be transported to an emergency department, where rehydration is usually done IV. Rate and volume of IV rehydration are guided by age, underlying disorders, and clinical response. Replacement of 1 to 2 L at 500 mL/hour is often adequate. Older patients and patients with heart disorders may require lower rates. […] External cooling measures are usually not required.

  Heat exhaustion refers to a group of clinical syndromes that are characterized by hypovolemia after heat stress. Under severe heat stress conditions, too much bodily fluid and sodium in the body are lost. An electrolyte imbalance occurs although no apparent damage to the central nervous system is presented. […] Treatment Principle: Rapid cooling and intravenous infusion are required when there is a severe reduction in blood volume or an electrolyte imbalance. If the blood pressure fluctuates with body position, then the patient should continue to be replenished with saline until hemodynamics are stabilized. The rest of the fluid loss can be supplemented slowly over a period of 48 h. Correction of hypernatremia that occurs too quickly can cause cerebral edema, leading to impaired awareness or epileptic seizures.

  There is no specific pharmacologic treatment for EHS. […] We suggest the following treatment for heat exhaustion: Remove any athlete from play and move them to a shaded or air-conditioned area. […] We suggest the following treatment measures for suspected heat, or exercise-associated, muscle cramps: Hydrate the athlete and replace sodium losses with a sports drink or other source of salt. […] For patients suspected to have heat injury, we recommend immediate rapid cooling using any of the methods used for EHS. […] If there is any suspicion of EHS, in other words, any suggestion of neurologic abnormality, clinicians should assume that EHS is present and appropriate steps, including rapid cooling, should be initiated as soon as possible. […] The recommendations of the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) for returning an athlete to training and competition following an episode of EHS represent one reasonable approach.

  Treatment of heat exhaustion involves stopping all exertion and removing patients to a cool environment, having them lie flat, and attempting oral rehydration with a solution of 0.1% sodium chloride. Patients should drink about 1 L/hour. If vomiting or nausea prevents oral rehydration, IV fluid and electrolyte replacement therapy, typically using 0.9% saline solution, is indicated. […] Also, if symptoms do not resolve after 30 to 60 minutes of oral rehydration, patients should be transported to an emergency department, where rehydration is usually done IV. Rate and volume of IV rehydration are guided by age, underlying disorders, and clinical response. Replacement of 1 to 2 L at 500 mL/hour is often adequate. Older patients and patients with heart disorders may require lower rates. […] External cooling measures are usually not required. However, if patients with heat exhaustion have a core temperature of 40 C, measures may be taken to reduce it. […] Have patients rest in a cool environment and try oral rehydration, transporting patients to an emergency department if these measures are unsuccessful.
