What is heat stroke?

Heat stroke, that is, heat stroke, is a series of clinical syndromes caused by the imbalance between the relationship between heat generation and heat loss in the body in a high temperature and high humidity environment, the dysfunction or loss of body temperature central regulation, sweat gland failure, and electrolyte disorders.

What are the clinical manifestations of heat stroke?

When a person suffers from heat stroke, the clinical manifestations mainly include two aspects:

The first aspect is the manifestation of heat stroke itself, that is, the "triple sign of heat stroke", including: high fever - core body temperature greater than 40 ° C (anal temperature), no sweat - dry skin, skin flushing or pallor, impaired consciousness or coma, often accompanied by convulsions or tonic attacks;
