Heat stroke in closed car
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
Abstract: Heat stroke, also known as sun stroke, is a severe heat illness, defined as hyperthermia with a body temperature greater than 40.6 °C (105.1 °F) because of environmental heat exposure with lack of thermoregulation. Children left unattended in stationary cars can face several dangers which are unknown to general population. In a developing country like India the dangers associated with children and parked cars are yet to be recognized and conveyed to the normal population who are seemingly ignorant about this issue. We represent a case of three year female child who was found dead in parked car during marriage party. The authors intend to highlight the dangers associated with small children left unattended or getting locked in cars during play.
