Although heat stroke mainly affects people over age 50, it also takes a toll on healthy young athletes.
Heat stroke often occurs as a progression from milder heat-related illnesses such as heat cramps, heat syncope (fainting), and heat exhaustion. But it can strike even if you have no previous signs of heat injury.
Heat stroke results from prolonged exposure to high temperatures -- usually in combination with dehydration -- which leads to failure of the body's temperature control system. The medical definition of heat stroke is a core body temperature greater than 104 degrees Fahrenheit, with complications involving the central nervous system that occur after exposure to high temperatures.
The answer to this is a volley.
If one sees an individual with cardiac arrest, they are to check their surroundings and then they would exam the individual and determine if the victim is responsive; afterwards, the individual must alert their local emergency department. If the victim shows no sign of a pulse or is unable to breathe then they should begin with the AED rescue.
After the first AED shock has been delivered to the victim the individual performing the AED would begin CPR for two minutes. The AED would then analyze the patient again, since the AED provides very clear instructions the individual is to follow them until the paramedics arrive on the scene.
