Abstract
Introduction
Classic heat stroke is a severe trauma which can lead to multi-organ dysfunctions and is associated with a high mortality.
Case presentation
In this case report we present a 73-year-old patient with a classic heat stroke. His initial core body temperature was over 42 °C and he had a GCS of 3. Due to severe burn injuries the patient was transferred to a specialized burn center. The patient developed different organ failures and showed a prolonged course on the intensive care unit. Although the patient demonstrated different impaired organ systems, he recovered completely after receiving painstaking supportive therapy.
Conclusions
This is a rare case of a patient who fully recovered after a heat stroke with a temperature over 42 °C and severe sequelae.
