If a patient is suspected of Exertional Heat Stroke, what
should be the first action taken in treatment of the
condition?
A) Drive them to the hospital by parent/yourself.
B) Contact EMS and wait for them to arrive. Don’t
move athlete.
C) Get them a bottle of water and put ice towels on
them.
D) Apply Biofreeze to the entire body.
E) Contact EMS, but place athlete in cold water immersion
and stir the water aggressively before transport.

 David Stinson, head coach Pleasure Ridge Park HS
criminally charged in death of 15 year old, Aug. 20th 2008.
 All coaches present, AD who was present, and Principal
were named in a separate civil lawsuit.
 “Reckless Homicide”- When a person fails to perceive a
risk that a reasonable person in that situation would have
seen.
 Another player that day also collapsed and spent 2 days in
the hospital.
 Coach alleged to have withheld water and continued practice
with a heat index of 94.
 Coach “would run the players until someone quit the team”.
 It took 15 minutes to call 911.
 Coach Stinson was on paid administrative leave,
reassigned, no longer coaches.
 Community & school district torn apart.
 Coach Stinson was acquitted of criminal charges.
 Civil suit was settled out of court for 1.75 million
dollars.
 Focuses on two issues in HS Football
 Concussions
 Heat Stroke
 Arkansas, 2010
 Two heat stroke scenarios
 1 died (Tyler Davenport)
 1 lived (Will James)
 What was the difference in care?
 Frontline- “No one should die of Heatstroke”
 A set of guidelines that safely prepares athletes for
competition.
 Released by the NATA in 2009 for Secondary Schools.
 100% of heat related deaths are preventable!!
 WIAA currently has no guidelines.
 Korey Stringer Institute is pushing for all 50 states to
adopt guidelines for all high schools.
 NCAA has had guidelines in place since 2003.
 One collegiate death in August since inception!
 No more than 1 practice
per day.
 No longer than 3 hours
 1 hour max. ( walk thru)
permitted after 3 hours
minimum rest.
 Football:
 Days 1 & 2 Helmets only
 Days 3-5 Helmets &
shoulder pads only
 Double practice days

followed by a single
On single days, 1 walk thru
permitted w/3 hrs rest.
Rest day doesn’t count
towards 14 day total.
Doubles don’t exceed 3
hours for each. Not to
exceed 5 hours total.
All activities included as
practice time:
conditioning, walk thru,
weight room, etc.
Recommend certified AT
onsite for all practices.

 “New Jersey, first to
adopt heat guidelines”
 From 1995 through 2008,
39 football players died
of heatstroke.
 Second most common
cause of death for high
school athletes, after
spinal cord injury.
 EAP’s in place
 Earlier AM full gear

practices
Shells for later PM
practices, install
Emphasize pre-practice
hydration
Efficient hydration
available
Discourage supplements,
caffeine & stimulants
 Heat exhaustion symptoms include:
Paleness
Cramping
Heavy sweating
Fainting or nausea
Fast or shallow breathing
Dizziness
The pulse rate is fast and weak.
 Core body temperature below 104 degrees
 Heatstroke symptoms include both physical and
neurological manifestations—a fast pulse and
extremely high temperature (above 104 degrees)
coupled with confusion or hallucination.
 People may experience nausea, fatigue, vomiting,
diarrhea, loss of balance, irritability, irrational or
unusual behavior, apathy, hysteria, and headaches, as
well as dizziness and disorientation.
 With NEHS, the body stops or decreases sweat
production so the skin feels hot and dry.
 With EHS, the body can still produce sweat, so the
skin can be moist though the core temperature
remains just as high.
 Sometimes, there will be no clear evidence of a
problem until the athlete collapses.
 Is the only valid measure of body temperature.
 Can only be measured rectally or with an ingestible
thermometer (Gastrointestinal).
 What if I don’t have/don’t want to measure
temperature rectally?
 Common sense:
 Signs & Symptoms
 Fast pulse
 Confusion
 Nausea
 Disorientation
 Altered level of Consciousness
 Irrational/Unusual Behavior
 Dizziness
 Loss of Balance
 Activate EAP
 Call 911, but…
 Cool the body rapidly, before transport
 Remove from heat
 Cold Water Immersion
 If not available:
 Douse with cold water
 Ice bags/towels, rotate : 3 mins.
 Put in any available water source
 Goal is to get body temperature below 102 degrees
within 30 minutes.
 Water temperature between 35-59 degrees.
 Ice always visible on surface
 Continuously stirred.
 Cooling rate in general is 1 degree: 3 minutes.
 Basic guideline:
 Water temp of 38-42 degree
 10-15 minutes of immersion time
Affects athletes with Sickle Cell Trait
 Muscle Cramping
 Tenderness
 Pain
 Inability to catch breath
 Swelling
 Fatigue
 Weakness
 Longer periods of recovery within conditioning
 Excluded from performance tests
 Timed mile run & serial sprints
 Adjust work-rest cycles during hotter days
 Emphasize hydration
 Don’t work out if feeling ill
 Control Asthma
 Have supplemental oxygen available
 Study of hydration
1. Proper pre practice hydration
 ½ given water
 ½ withheld water
 No significant difference in core temperature!
2. Start practice dehydrated
 ½ given water
 ½ withheld water
 Significant difference in core temperature
 Emphasis needs to be on effective hydration by the
athlete!
