TY - JOUR PY - 1998// TI - Heat-related illness. Plan ahead to protect your patients JO - Postgraduate medicine A1 - Hett, H. A. A1 - Brechtelsbauer, D. A. SP - 107 EP - 8, 114 VL - 103 IS - 6 N2 - Environmental heat illnesses range from irksome to devastating. People at particular risk are the elderly, the chronically mentally ill, the community-dwelling developmentally delayed, people without social contacts, athletes, and those without access to air-conditioning. Because heat-related deaths are preventable, community-wide response to heat emergencies, together with individual and community education programs, could greatly decrease morbidity and mortality.
