Comparing Exertional Heat Illness Risk Factors Between Patients and Controls

NCT05303142 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 95

Last updated 2023-05-22

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The arduous nature of military training and operations require personnel to encounter high heat load, e.g., during intense physical exertion, particularly in the heat. These conditions reduce operational effectiveness and expose personnel to a risk of incapacitation and death from exertional heat illness (EHI). The primary aim of this study is to compare putative 'chronic' EHI risk factors between a cohort who have suffered a history of EHI and a control cohort with no EHI history. The secondary aim is to examine the influence of these EHI risk factors on thermoregulation during a standard heat tolerance assessment.
