Efficacy of Cooling Blankets and Cold Fluid Infusions in Classic Heatstroke Treatment: A Controlled Study in Rats by Chen L, Liu C, Zhang Z, Zhang Y, Feng X

“…Early rapid cooling improves organ function and prognosis in classic heatstroke rats. Proper cooling methods are crucial for effective heatstroke management, reducing organ damage, and improving survival rates.Plain language summary:Both cooling blankets and cold intravenous fluids help lower body temperature in heatstroke, but we are still learning how they differently affect the body.In animal studies, cold fluids given through veins worked better than just using cooling blankets - they protected both heart and kidneys from damage and reduced inflammation, even though both methods cooled the body equally fast.Using cold fluids together with cooling blankets cooled rats faster and more effectively, leading to less organ damage and fewer dangerous inflammation reactions.More research is needed to determine the best combination of cooling methods to help classic heatstroke patients recover better.Keywords: heatstroke, cooling blanket, cold fluid infusion, cold water immersion, cooling rate, inflammation cytokine…”
