Heat stroke, also known as sun stroke, is a type of severe heat illness that results in a body temperature greater than . Other signs and symptoms include red skin, headache, dizziness, and confusion. There is generally a lack of sweating in classic heat stroke while sweating is generally present in exertional heatstroke. The start of heat stroke can be sudden or gradual. Heatstroke is a life-threatening condition characterized by severe<unk>  and multiorgan-dysfunction resulting from exposure to heat. Medical complications may include seizures, rhabdomyolysis, or kidney failure. Heat stroke occurs because of high external temperatures or physical exertion. Some people with certain health conditions are at an increased risk of heat stroke. It often occurs under prolonged exposure to extreme environmental or exertional heat, which is preventable in most individuals. However, patients with certain genetic predispositions that underlie enhanced susceptibility to heat stroke are particularly vulnerable to heat under relatively mild conditions, especially among pediatric populations. Preventive measures include drinking sufficient fluids and avoiding excessive heat. Treatment is by rapid physical cooling of the body and supportive care. Recommended methods include spraying the person with water and using a fan, putting the person in ice water, or giving cold intravenous fluids. While it is reasonable to add ice packs around a person, this by itself is not routinely recommended. Heat stroke results in more than 600 deaths a year in the United States. Rates have increased between 1995 and 2015. The risk of death is less than 5% in those with exercise-induced heat stroke and as high as 65% in those with non-exercise induced cases.
