Definition of heatstroke in English English dictionary

hyperthermia

collapse caused by exposure to excessive heat

fever and weakness caused by being outside in the heat of the sun for too long sunstroke. Debility caused by exposure to heat and humidity, usually for many hours, called sunstroke when caused by direct sunlight. Body temperature is 106-110°F (41-43°C) or higher. Perspiration almost stops, leading to the rapid temperature rise, collapse, and coma. Cooling with ice-water baths or packs, with massage to promote circulation, is urgent to save the victim's life. Even after body temperature drops, circulatory disorder and brain damage may cause death. See also heat exhaustion
