Brief summary (registry, in English)
Exertional heat stroke (EHS) is the most serious form of heat-illness that can occur during sports and exercise. If not recognized and treated immediately mortality rate of EHS is high. Early recognition and initiation of cooling are paramount. If temperature is reduced to \< 40°C within 30 minutes of symptom onset, most patients recover completely. There are several strategies for cooling in EHS, including cooling with rotating in ice water soaked towels which cover the body of a patient. The aim of this research is to investigate the effectiveness and safety of treatment of EHS with ice water soaked towels to lower body temperature.
