Clinical triage

Heat exhaustion or heat stroke?

Heat exhaustion

  • Heavy sweating, cool pale skin
  • Muscle cramps and weakness
  • Dizziness and light-headedness
  • Nausea or vomiting
  • Fast, weak pulse

Move to a cool place, loosen clothing and sip cool ORS water.

Heat stroke, an emergency

  • Body temperature above 40 °C (104 °F)
  • Hot, red, dry skin with no sweat
  • Confusion or loss of consciousness
  • Throbbing headache
  • Rapid, strong pulse

Call 112 or 108 now and cool the person with ice packs.

Hydration and ORS

Drink about 250 ml of water every 20 minutes when active in the heat. Add oral rehydration salts (ORS), coconut water or lemon water with salt. Avoid caffeine and sugary drinks, which speed dehydration.
