Heat stroke consists of hyperthermia (greater than 105.8 degrees F [41 degrees C]), central nervous system dysfunction, and cessation of sweating with hot, dry skin. It is a medical emergency that results from failure of the thermoregulatory mechanisms of the body. It has a high death rate and requires rapid reduction in body core temperature. Heat syncope is characterized by a transient loss of consciousness with peripheral vasodilation and decreased cardiac output with normal body temperature. Heat cramps involve painful contractions of large muscle groups because of decreased hydration and a decrease of serum sodium and chloride. Heat exhaustion is distinguished by a core temperature of less than 102.2 degrees F (39 degrees C) and an absence of central nervous system dysfunction. Hypernatremic heat exhaustion results from inadequate water replacement.
