[Heat stroke. Therapeutic considerations in a case].
Heat stroke is an acute life-threatening disease requiring therapy immediate to cope with the severe pathophysiologic disturbances. Rapid lowering of the high core temperature seems to be the most important therapeutic measure. Besides methods of physical cooling, Dantrolene should also be used in this hyperthermic state. By consequent lowering of the body temperature it will be possible to stabilise circulation and minimise disease-related injuries of different organs.
