Thermal and cardiovascular responses to severe heatstroke in survivors and non-survivors

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
