    Heat stroke - Defined by a body temperature of greater than 40 °C (104 °F) due to environmental heat exposure with lack of thermoregulation. Symptoms include dry skin, rapid, strong pulse and dizziness. [7] Heat exhaustion - Can be a precursor of heatstroke; the symptoms include heavy sweating, rapid breathing and a fast, weak pulse.

  8. Heat stroke - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_stroke

    Treatment of heat stroke involves rapid mechanical cooling along with standard resuscitation measures. [22] The body temperature must be lowered quickly via conduction, convection, or evaporation. [4] During cooling, the body temperature should be lowered to less than 39 degrees Celsius, ideally less than 38-38.5 degrees Celsius. [5]

  9. Heat exhaustion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_exhaustion

    Heat exhaustion is a heat-related illness characterized by the body's inability to effectively cool itself, typically occurring in high ambient temperatures or during intense physical exertion. In heat exhaustion, core body temperature ranges from 37 °C to 40 °C (98.6 °F to 104 °F).
