Table 2.
Variable | Survivors | Non-survivors | P value |
---|---|---|---|
Heat load (°C. min) | 363 (276–402) | 319 (308–339) | 0.605 |
Core temperature maximum (°C) | 43.7 (43.7–43.8) | 43.5 (43.3–43.8) | 1.000 |
Duration of heat exposure (min) | 210 (200–325) | 262 (130–365) | 0.796 |
Heating rate (°C/min) | 0.03 (0.02–0.04) | 0.03 (0.02–0.04) | 0.294 |
Cooling rate (°C/min) | 0.02 (0.02–0.02) | 0.04 (0.02–0.06) | 0.589 |
Systolic blood pressure (mmHg) | 111 (105–118) | 118 (98–133) | 0.018 |
Heart rate (beats/min) | 167 (152–182) | 197 (157–233) | <0.0001 |
Values represent median±interquartile range (IQR). Mann–Whitney test was used to compare the difference between survivors (n = 3) and non-survivors (n = 6). Data were considered significant at P < 0.05
