Outline
Heatstroke, especially in high-temperature and high-humidity environments, is a life-threatening acute heat-injury disease that seriously endangers human health. Timely and effective on-site treatment is crucial for patients' survival and prognosis. Early recognition, rapid assessment, and on-site cooling are the core of pre-hospital treatment of heatstroke. Currently, there is a lack of standardized application procedures for pre-hospital emergency care of heatstroke. Therefore, the "Expert Consensus on Pre-hospital Emergency Management of Heatstroke (2024 edition)" was initiated by the Expert Group on Heatstroke Prevention of the People's Liberation Army and developed in collaboration with experts from local pre-hospital emergency care, emergency departments, and intensive care units. This consensus focuses on heatstroke prevention, on-site and ambulance-based treatment, and early emergency room interventions, and puts forward 10 evidence-based recommendations, aiming to provide a reference for scientific and standardized pre-hospital emergency care of heatstroke.
