NCT ID NCT06537557

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests a new early in-hospital temperature management protocol for heat stroke patients. The protocol includes early identification, rapid cooling methods, and precise temperature monitoring. Researchers aim to see if this approach improves cooling rates and reduces deaths in 188 emergency department patients diagnosed with heat stroke.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

early in-hospital temperature management protocol

What this could lead to

If successful, this protocol could provide a standardized way to rapidly cool heat stroke patients, potentially reducing organ damage and deaths.

What could go wrong

This is a single-center study with 188 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The protocol's effectiveness depends on consistent implementation and may not outperform existing cooling methods.
