Course Description:
The course describes the etiologies attributed to exertional heat exhaustion and exertional heat
stroke in active populations. Exertional heat stroke is commonly mistaken for heat exhaustion
during evaluation. This course will compare and contrast exertional heat exhaustion and
exertional heat stroke signs and symptoms to improve differential diagnosis. Treatment of
exertional heat exhaustion and exertional heat stroke can be done on site, and the framework of
treatment plan procedures for both conditions is built for active populations. A comparison of
oral versus intravenous fluid administration for heat exhaustion patients is presented, and
developing a detailed ice water immersion plan for heat stroke patients, with research support, is
discussed.
