With the heat upon us this week, it is important to take steps to protect ourselves and others from heat stroke.

Ensure hydration, sun cream and limit exposure. Especially with children and elderly people.

A good measurement of hydration is to monitor that your urine is clear and not dark. When we are hot this will dilate blood vessels, in combination with poor hydration may cause fainting and collapsing. Excessive exercise can also put extra stain on the heart causing fast heart rates, palpitations and dizziness.

If someone is starting to show symptoms as described, they may be experiencing heat exhaustion. When a patient's core temperature increases and becomes uncontrolled, this is Heat Stroke. If Heat Stroke is present, this is a medical emergency especially when they are unable to keep fluids down - call 999.

Immediate interventions for Heat Stroke are too rapidly cool. Get them away from the heat course, remove excess clothing and use ice packs behind the neck and under the armpits.

Preventing Heat Stroke is the key.
