Haemostasis in heat stroke

M E Beard, C M Hickton

    British Journal of Haematology
    |October 1, 1982

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Heat stroke can significantly disrupt blood clotting, causing fibrinolysis activation and low platelet counts. While not definitively seen in this case, severe heat stroke may lead to disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC).

    Area of Science:

    • Hematology
    • Environmental Medicine
    • Critical Care Medicine

    Background:

    • Heat stroke is a severe condition characterized by elevated body temperature and central nervous system dysfunction.
    • Understanding its impact on hemostasis is crucial for patient management.

    Observation:

    • A patient with moderately severe heat stroke was monitored for hemostatic changes.
    • Key observations included activation of fibrinolysis, potential hepatic synthesis failure of coagulation factors, and severe thrombocytopenia.

    Findings:

    • The study found no definitive evidence of disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) in this moderately severe heat stroke case.
    • However, significant alterations in the coagulation system were present.

    Implications:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • Severe heat stroke, with extensive tissue damage, may precipitate DIC.
    • The combination of pre-existing hemostatic changes and DIC could result in a rapid and severe clinical course.
