Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
This clinical update has identified the physiological aspects of heat acquisition and its effect on the human body. It has been shown that both classical (non exertional) and exertional heat stroke are preventable medical emergencies. Through a greater understanding of the physiological aspects of heat acquisition and the effects of that burden on the human body it has been shown that preventative strategies can be developed to reduce the prevalence of heat stroke. These simple measures can be applied to combat the detrimental effects of exposure to natural heat in the Australian community and prevent deaths. |
