Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study focuses on implementing a systematic temperature management protocol for patients diagnosed with heat stroke upon their admission to the emergency department. Heat stroke is a critical condition characterized by dangerously high body temperatures and can lead to severe organ dysfunction and death if not treated promptly. The protocol aims to standardize the approach to rapidly reduce core body temperature, thereby minimizing cellular damage and improving patient outcomes. The study will evaluate the effectiveness of this protocol in a clinical setting across multiple hospitals in Zhejiang, China.
