Study of Early Body Temperature Targets and Outcomes in Adults With Heat Stroke

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are conducting an observational study to explore the best target body temperatures during the first 24 hours after heat stroke and how these temperatures relate to patient outcomes. The study aims to find optimal body temperatures at specific times after heat stroke, the best body temperature to stop cooling, and how the amount and speed of ice saline infusion affect cooling. This research is sponsored by the Second Affiliated Hospital, School of Medicine, Zhejiang University. Participants in this study are patients with heat stroke who come to the emergency department at the study site. Patients will receive standard cooling treatments and organ function support as part of their usual care. The study does not involve experimental treatments but observes how current practices affect body temperature and outcomes. During the study, researchers will monitor patients body temperatures at various times and track outcomes such as mortality and organ damage up to 90 days after heat stroke. Additional measures include the need for continuous renal replacement therapy, length of stay in the intensive care unit, and total hospital stay. Participants progress will be observed through routine clinical care without additional interventions specific to the study.
