This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
Heat stroke is a medical emergency where the body's temperature rises above 40°C (104°F) and causes serious organ damage. This trial is testing a new hospital protocol that helps doctors identify heat stroke faster and cool patients down more quickly. The goal is to stop damage to organs and improve survival and recovery.
Right now, hospitals don't have a standard, organized way to manage heat stroke patients' body temperature. Because the damage from extreme heat happens very quickly, having a clear protocol that guides doctors through rapid cooling could save lives and prevent permanent organ damage.

If you are in the new protocol group, the hospital team will use their newly developed temperature management protocol to identify your heat stroke quickly and cool your body down rapidly using specific techniques and monitoring. If you are in the comparison group, your data will be collected from hospital records of heat stroke patients treated before the new protocol was introduced. Either way, the team will track your temperature, organ function, and recovery over time.
