Exertional Heat Stroke at the Vermont City Marathon, 2012 to 2023: High Incidence Despite Spring Season in the Northern United States
This study is the first to characterize patients with EHS at VCM and compare these data to other US marathons. A linear correlation was established between WBGT and EHS incidence. Despite the early season and northerly setting of VCM, EHS was prevalent and important for medical tent preparation. Appropriate EHS treatment was life-saving.
