Objective: To analyze the acid-base balance during heatstroke. Design: Retrospective study.
Setting: Heatstroke Center, Makkah, Saudi Arabia. Patients: Hundred nine consecutive …

Background: Heatstroke is a medical emergency that results from failure of thermoregulatory
mechanism coupled with an exaggerated acute phase response, causing an elevation in …

Heatstroke was first described by a Roman in 24 BC when an expedition into Arabia Felix,
led by Aelius Gallus, was decimated by an illness which was'".. unlike any of the common …

Objective: To examine whether hyperthermia aggravates cerebral injury in acute ischemia
by an excitotoxic mechanism, we studied the relationship between body temperature on …

BACKGROUND: Although heatstroke is often associated with dehydration, the clinical
significance of serum sodium abnormalities in patients with heat-related illness during heat …

Brain tissue acidosis is a result of either an increase in tissue PCO 2 or an accumulation of
acids produced by metabolism. Severe hypercapnia (arterial PCO 2 around 300 mm Hg) …

Importance Clinical studies investigating the effects of hypercapnia and hypercapnic
acidosis in acute cerebral injury are limited. The studies performed so far have mainly …

Early after acute ischaemic stroke, elevation of brain temperature might augment tissue
metabolic rate and conversion of ischaemic but viable tissue to infarction. This might explain …

Object. Brain tissue acidosis is known to mediate neuronal death. Therefore the authors
measured the main parameters of cerebral acid—base homeostasis, as well as their …

Purpose To describe the course of early organ dysfunction in a cohort of patients admitted in
ICU suffering classic heatstroke. Methods Prospective observational single-centre cohort …
