Illness Recognition

This article introduces a practical triage tool designed to assist commanders, jungle training instructors (JTIs) and medical personnel to identify Defence Personnel (DP) with suspected exertional heat illness (EHI). The challenges of managing suspected EHI in a jungle training environment and the potential advantages to stratifying the urgency of evacuation are discussed. This tool has been designed to be an adjunct to the existing MOD mandated heat illness recognition and first aid training.

AbstractExertional heat illness remains a major cause of morbidity and occasional mortality within the Armed Forces. This review explores the normal responses to heat, known causes of exertional heatstroke, and suggests possible answers to the question of why one member of a military unit collapses with heat stroke, while matched controls at his side remain unaffected.
