Look forward to presenting on ‘low energy availability & immunity in athletes’ @ESNSOfficial Conference, Riccione. Our @SportsMedicineJ paper ‘Does REDs exist?’ here link.springer.com/article/10…
Great visit to the Montrose Rope and Sail Factory where the I-CWIK’s are manufactured.
All hand made by the super talented team of designers and technicians 👌🏼
A hot and humid day 🥵at the London Big Half Marathon . Well done and congratulations to all those competing 👏🏼.
Cold water immersion was used (with I-CWIK’s) for the 1st time at the event for managing runners with exertional heat stroke. Thanks to @stjohnambulance @LondonMarathon and @enhanced_c_s
Hoping all EHI casualties fully recovered and feeling better today.

Literally a life saving price of kit for heat stroke. Anyone organising any event where heat illness is a risk - should ask can they justify not getting this kit?

The I-CWIK is a robust, portable and innovative designed cooling pod to enable cold water immersion for EHS casualties.
Available now from nereusmedical.com
National recommendations call for cooling heat stroke patients before transporting them to the hospital, but as @DavidSchechter found out, only 11 states require ambulance services to follow this life-saving protocol.

This 👇🏼.
(105F = 40.5C for the 🇪🇺😉)
Also…exertional heat exhaustion (mild EHI) don’t usually have pale and clammy skin !! 🤦🏼♂️
This time of year, we often see infographics with inaccurate info about Exertional Heat Stroke shared. Remember, a patient with EHS will most likely be sweating. The key diagnostic criteria for EHS is CNS dysfunction and core temp (assessed rectally) >105F.

To the awesome AT community, can we please stop sharing infographics that list dry skin/no sweating as a sign of exertional heat stroke. This is not accurate and could result in missed dx. CNS dysfunction and core temp (assessed via rectal temp) >105F are the key dx criteria
Delighted to be attending and sponsoring the 2024 @SportsMedConf ✅

Great article by Rob highlighting the importance of preventing heat illness as the weather starts to warm up 🥵👇
Although the last two weeks has failed to show it, this summer is expected to be one of the hottest in record. I for one, can’t wait to enjoy being out in the sun.
But with soaring temperatures and the holiday season on the horizon, it’s important to understand the risks of heat stroke; something I see in my role at work as an A&E doctor but also in runners at the Brighton Marathon.
Far from being simply a matter of feeling hot – it’s a massively underestimated illness that can quickly cause irreversible damage to our organs and kill.
But there are new treatments, ones we have learned from the military, which can save lives (nereusmedical.com) using simple cold water immersion.
But prevention is better than cure and I hope that my article in this weeks Mail’s health section gives some useful tips on how to avoid succumbing to the heat.

@UKHSA and @metoffice have issued a Yellow Heat Health Alert for England for 24-27th June.
Gov advice = All mass gathering event organisers should ensure they have plans in place for the safe management of events and mass gatherings.

I agree Dan, fantastic to see all the runners yesterday and be part of the development of Rapid Response mobile Heat Stroke - Cold Water Immersion Teams.
