The Hidden Dangers of Beaches: Cardiorespiratory Arrest Induced by Thermal Shock #MMPMID26360691
West Indian Med J 2015[Mar]; 64 (2): 151-3 PMID26360691show ga
Thermal shock is widely recognized by modern medicine. Its pathophysiological mechanisms are known, as are its possible consequences, but scientific reports in the literature about clinical cases with severe consequences are sparse. The authors present a case of cardiorespiratory arrest after prolonged sun exposure followed by a dive in the ocean. Other aetiological causes were ruled out, by exclusion, leading to the diagnosis of cardiorespiratory arrest caused by thermal shock. It is important to inform the public in general of the risks of negligent behaviour on the beach.
