Ali Krisht, MD, Director of the CHI St. Vincent Arkansas Neuroscience Institute discusses heat stroke recovery, treatment and prevention.
With summer comes heat across Central Arkansas and while that means fun at the lake or pool for many, it can also pose significant and lasting health risks to others. Chief among those is the risk of heat stroke. Exposure to high temperatures over an extended period of time can lead to heat stroke and other complications. In extreme cases, prolonged exposure to the heat can even cause brain cells to begin overheating, placing individuals at risk for lasting damage. That’s why everyone should understand the fundamentals of heat stroke recovery, treatment and prevention.
