This case report describes the treatment process of a severe exertional heat stroke-induced coagulopathy in a 20-year-old firefighter. Through a comprehensive treatment strategy of five early and one prevention, including early cooling, early anticoagulation, early coagulation factor supplementation, early anti-inflammation, early blood purification, and prevention of complications, the patient was successfully treated. For the management of heat stroke-induced coagulopathy, based on the coagulation rebalancing strategy-namely anticoagulation combined with goal-directed replacement therapy, along with plasma diafiltration (PDF) treatment-the patient's coagulation function was effectively improved without any bleeding or thrombotic events. The patient's coagulation function returned to normal by day 4 of hospitalization, the tracheal tube was removed on day 6, transferred to the general ward after 11 days, and was discharged after 21 days of rehabilitation.

Objective: Cardiovascular injury is a common complication of heat stroke (HS). However, the mechanism underlying vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) following HS remains unclear.
Method: A rat and VSMCs model was established by simulating high-temperature exposure.

Exertional heat stroke (EHS) is a life-threatening condition characterized by hyperthermia and multi-organ dysfunction, often associated with intestinal barrier disruption. This study evaluated the protective effects of Huoxiang Zhengqi Dropping Pills (HXZQD) against EHS in a rat model. HXZQD was administered via oral gavage at low, medium, and high doses, followed by EHS induction through exercise under high-temperature and high-humidity conditions.

Background: Heat stroke (HS) can lead to the development of pulmonary ferroptosis. The inhibition of pulmonary ferroptosis during HS improves patient prognosis. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of resveratrol (RES) on heat stress at an ambient temperature of 42 °C.

Heatstroke is a critical condition with a high mortality rate and intestinal barrier dysfunction is a key factor in its progression to sepsis in some patients. This study aimed to explore the protective effects of rifaximin on the intestinal barrier in heat-stroke mice and the underlying mechanisms. A mouse model of heat stroke was established, followed by rifaximin intervention.
