“…Animal studies show that iced gastric lavage produces a better cooling rate of 0.15 ° C/min. 6 Iced peritoneal lavage has the highest cooling rate in animal studies excluding cardiopulmonary bypass, at a rate of 0.56 ° C/min, 7 twice that of the non-invasive techniques.…”

The differential diagnosis of the hyperpyrexic patient in the emergency department is extensive. It includes sepsis, heat illness including heat stroke, neuroleptic malignant syndrome, malignant hyperthermia, serotonin syndrome and thyroid storm. Each of these possible diagnoses has distinguishing features that may help to differentiate one from another. However, establishing the correct diagnosis is a challenge in the setting of the obtunded emergency patient who gives no history and where there may be limited access to any past medical or drug history. This paper presents such a case and reviews the features of the differential diagnoses and management of the hyperpyrexic patient.

in a specific location for a specified period of time. 2 In particular, law enforcement canines (LEK9s) are now frequently included on security teams at MGEs. LEK9s have numerous assignments, including explosives and narcotics detection, patrol, tracking, apprehension and arrest, and search and rescue. Their versatility stems from their keen sense of smell, ability to navigate inaccessible areas, and ability to search a given area approximately 50 times faster than a human. [3][4][5][6][7] LEK9s working at marathon or other MGEs may suffer from an acute illness or injury, particularly if an MCI occurs due to a violent attack (eg, bombing, active shooter incident) or a natural cause (eg, extreme weather, structural collapse). At select, high-profile events and exercises, veterinary medical professionals may be present onsite to provide immediate treatment. For example, National Veterinary Response Teams are deployed for National Special Security Events such as political conventions, presidential inaugurations, and the United Nations General Assembly. While increasing the presence of veterinary medical professionals at MGEs is worthy of attention, professional veterinary support is not routinely available at most MGEs with LEK9s on site.
