When internal body temperatures start nearing 40 degrees celcius, there starts to be a real risk of dehydration. Anything above that starts nearing deathly levels, generally a temperature of 42 celcius will start leading to permanent brain damage and death. So uh, if a body temp is already at 42 it starts to be a bit late going to the hospital :D
- danieltrembath 6y agoThat is a very good point :) The figures are actually set per-patient. But that 42 as placeholder does seem odd. There are two lower thresholds that trigger before getting to that one. But I’ll flag it with the clinician regardless. Thank you.
- danieltrembath 6y agoThanks httpsterio. I checked in with the team and posted the details further up the chain.
