Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The objective of this study is to observe what percentage of patients reached a core temperature below 40 degrees Celsius within 30 minutes after starting cooling therapy in runners experiencing EHS. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The secondary objectives are: • What is the minimal mean cooling rate in patients that were cooled suffering EHS in degrees per minute? • What is the association between consciousness and decreasing temperature by patients suffering EHS? • What is the effect of weather conditions on acquiring EHS? • We also treat patients with a heat exhaustion by cooling. Therefore, we are interested in the percentage of patients treated with a heat exhaustion, recovery after cooling, association between consciousness and heat exhaustion, minimal mean cooling rate and admission to hospital. | — |
