摘要：

A critical care clinician must be able to understand heat-related illnesses and manage them appropriately. Prompt recognition of these illnesses when they occur and selection of appropriate therapeutic modalities to treat them are crucial to reduce morbidity and mortality. This article reviews the physiology of human thermoregulation, predisposing factors, clinical presentation, complications, management, and prevention of heat-related illnesses.
