- Heat Emergencies: Cramps, Exhaustion and Stroke
Heat emergencies can creep up on you and can be quite severe. While prevention is the best medicine here, we don't always catch it early enough. What are the different heat-related emergencies and how do we begin to provide basic care for these illnesses? We discuss that in this video!

Great video, but you need to fix the graphic saying that people with heat stroke have a core body temp of 140 degrees. Pretty sure any treatment at that point would be futile.
Great timing on this video! Just what I was looking for! Thank you!
Awesome! Glad it is useful!
Helpful 😮
Great thanks to you.
I almost died from a heat stroke today. This stuff is serious.
Sure is. It sneaks up on you, especially if you’re not acclimated to the heat. Be careful out there!
Great video. I've found people can progress to heat stroke quick.
Thanks! Yes, they sure can.
Awesome! Thank you as always.
Quick question slightly off-topic. If you find yourself in a situation where it is just you and someone in need of first aid, do you give first aid then call first responders or the other way around?
I know there is a million different factors (equipment, threat, abilities etc) but as a general rule what step in the process is calling 911?
Please keep doing these videos! They are extremely helpful.
It depends on the injury. Is it something they could die from while you are calling 911 like severe bleeding? Treat them first. Or is it something like a broken bone that can can wait a few minutes for you to make a call.
You can also dial 911 and put it on speakerphone while you continue to assess and treat. But that assumes you have your phone with you, it has battery life and you have cell service.
40C=104F. Anyone who has an internal temperature of 140F is basically cooked, medium rare. And bodies do adapt to some extent to heat, plus you develop the ability to recognize problems. BUT, the body's ability to adapt to high external temperatures is extremely limited. No amount of conditioning will allow you to function well at 110F.
For cramps, nothing beats pickle juice.
Coconut water
LMNT electrolyte is awesome stuff. No sugar or other crap.
Nice, I’m not familiar with that. I’ll look it up. Thanks!
Have you looked into applying cold packs to glabrous skin surfaces to facilitate quick heat loss in situations when large surface area cooling isn’t available?
It's common practice to apply the ice packs to areas where there are large arteries to cool down the circulating blood like a radiator. Those areas being the groin, armpits and neck. Applying cold to the peripheral skin will cause some vasoconstriction of the blood vessels there and decrease the blood flow which is how the body gets rid of the heat in the first place. So it could actually slow down the cooling process.
What if your in a construction site. Or out offshore in the ocean. Or back in the woods with no water around?
Is sugar-free Gatorade ok for heat cramps? (Please responddd)
where can I get heat iv
IV in a bottle is what I thought an odd taste at first then I craved it ...I bought it at QuikTrip gas station in Texas Approximately $7.00 or so for two bottles
I’m watching this now, because it’s 110 outside at my in-laws house and yesterday I had heart palpitations and a bad headache 🤕 the heat is too much 🥹
Be careful out there!
I was right at heat exhaustion trying to do a 31 mile run, ended it at 23 miles. I thought I was doing the right thing with water, electrolytes, carbs and even had salt pills. Any advice on how I can prepare better next time?
This is more of an emergency response video and not an endurance athlete video. How you body reacts in the heat has a lot to do with your conditioning as well as other factors like any medications you are taking etc. There are a lot of factors at play there and someone specialized in exercise physiology would be better suited to answer that questions for you.
140 temp is not equal to 104 .... Audio is correct image on screen is not
Got fired for having a heatstroke, at will state yay!
Sounds like Texas
Salt tabs
Those can be helpful
Look out for yourself in this life. No one actually gives a shit about you. No matter how honest and hardworking you are... no one gives a shit. Take care of you first!
This is a interesting study - the Jews had to gather salt from a place called bitter waters each time they passed by it as they roamed around in a circle in the desert for 40 yrs -
Scientist study's those salts in that place that were on the edge of those banks -
The salts are equal to Himalayan salt except that it has high concentrations of magnesium -
Moses had said if those salts are not added to there water and for they would be cursed and die in the desert -
Cursed means misfortunes - from what they know now with out those salts the Jews would have had heat strokes with muscle cramps - if they did not die of a double stroke, they would have died from muscle cramps of the heart - 50% of heart attacks are the result of magnesium defficcencys -
I had worked the offshore oilfields in the gulf of Mexico for yrs - the crews were to take salt tablets any time they drank water or anything -
Those that ignored those instructions had strokes at times, but worst had double stokes or heart attacks due to the lack of magnesium -
In most cases the medic rescued them with an IV but not always
If there was no medic around we would give a person water with crushed up salt tablets dissolved in the water when heat exhaustion hit them - if cought in time they would be ok -
If they could not hold water down and there were no IVs available - there were enema bottles or hot water bottle in the first aid closet -
We would lay them on there left side an d lay the bottle of warm water on there side and insert the tube up there rear to rehydrate them and get the salts and magnesium back in them -
Sense I retired from the oilfields I have never seen that method mentioned -
If some one is in a coma and you can't get them to a hospital quickly when it's hot - if a IV is not available that same method will work -
It was used during WW1 & WW2 - for those in a coma - to maintain hydration at times -
