In military training, when the physiological heat stress load is excessive and cannot be corrected in time, heat illness may occur, and in severe cases, exertional heat stroke may occur, which will seriously affect the combat effectiveness. Rapid, effective and uninterrupted cooling is the key measure to relieve excessive heat stress reaction and prevent heat illness/stroke. Based on nearly 10 years of clinical practice experience, the scientific research achievements in heatstroke prevention areas, as well as domestic and foreign latest evidence, Expert Group of Heat Stroke Prevention and Treatment of the Chinese PLA summarized the temperature monitoring, preventive and therapeutic cooling strategies in the whole process of military training, and widely consulted the opinions of emergency and critical care experts in the military, and finally formed the consensus, thus being intended to provide guidance for the implementation of effective temperature management in military training.
