"Novel" I guess it is novel in using a body bag to do it? I remember literally at my first scout camp, we were talking about first aid and heat stroke came up.

I remember literally at my first scout camp, we were talking about first aid and heat stroke came up. We were on a long pier, and the instructor said: "toss them in the water then treat for shock." So water cooling is well known to be the best way to treat someone.
- mplewis 3y agoYes, this is described in the abstract.
- spydum 3y agoNope, it's more mundane than that. It's novel for non-exertion heat stroke. Seems to me like a distinction without a difference. How the body got into an overheated seems mostly irrelevant as to whether an ice bath in a tub vs a bag. But they acknowledge this technique is used in exertional heat stroke.
