Heat Stroke Journal: 43°C Body Temperature and 37°C Hand Warmth
Abstract：On a scorching summer afternoon, an unidentified middle-aged male patient was rushed to the emergency green channel. He suddenly collapsed while working under the scorching sun and was diagnosed with severe heat stroke. When he was admitted to our department, his body temperature reached as high as 43°C, he was confused, with vomiting and dehydration. The doctors quickly performed endotracheal intubation, ice blanket cooling, central venous puncture, and blood purification for emergency treatment. His tanned and sturdy body was filled with various tubes, lying silently on the bed. After turning or providing care, I would loosen the restraint gloves and gently hold his hand. It was an instinctive action, but also my most sincere wish: even if you cannot hear or see, please know that you are not alone. May your hazy memories be warmed by a caring hand.
