Heat stroke can lead to end-organ dysfunction such as rhabdomyolysis, disseminated intravascular coagulation, cardiogenic shock, liver failure, and cerebral edema. Broad-spectrum antibiotics (A) for septic shock are not inappropriate given the hyperthermia, tachycardia, and hypotension. Hyperthermia. Heatstroke.

Some authors recommend not starting chest compressions in hypothermia unless there is no organized cardiac activity (e.g., 2 In reality you may start compressions before you confirm that hypothermia was the primary cause of cardiac arrest. Obtaining a core temperature early in any arrest suspected to be from hypothermia is key.

Severe hypothermia not uncommonly has accompanying T waves inversions. Another frequent feature of hypothermia is atrial fibrillation (not seen in this case) Core temperature of this patient was 29,5 Celsius. Maybe the main cause of the ECG-findings here then is benign T inversion and not hypothermia. There is SR.
