Summary

Joining Brian and myself in our virtual studio we are delighted to have Dr Emily Hall, one of our lecturers in Veterinary Education here at the RVC. Emily has been working with the VetCompass group looking at Heat Related Illness in the UK and we thought we'd talk to her to about her research in this field and the questions that left unanswered. We hope that you enjoy.

Emily has her own blog on this topic too, where you can find links to the papers. http://heatstroke.dog/

There is even an infographic: https://www.rvc.ac.uk/Media/Default/VetCompass/210324%20EH%20Heat%20Stroke%20infographic.pdf

0:00.0	Gooday, Dominic Barfield here, and this is the ABC Clinical Podcast.
0:03.0	Thank you for listening and thank you for subscribing on your smartphone or generic fruit-based device.
0:07.9	And we're really grateful for you taking the time to download and listen to this, obviously, podcast.
0:11.2	And we don't ask for much for a term, but we'd be incredibly grateful if you could pop to Apple podcast or ACAST or wherever you get your podcast and leave us for review.
0:19.6	Obviously, a five-star review would be great, but we really appreciate a few moments of your time
0:25.0	to leave us for review.
0:26.7	So today, joining Brian and myself in our virtual studio, we're going to talk to Dr. Emily Hall,
0:31.3	one of our lecturers here at the RVC in veterinary education, and we thought we'd talk
0:35.8	about heat-related illness.

0:38.8	No, it's great to be here.
0:39.7	Thanks, Don.
0:40.6	Very good.
0:41.7	So I suppose if we get into heat-related illness, maybe I should ask, why do we talk about,
0:47.4	some people might refer to it as heat stroke.
0:51.7	So could I ask that maybe the terminology with the name itself when we're
0:56.0	talking about heat-related illness? What is that? So heat-related illness encompasses all forms of
1:02.7	illness that's triggered by excessive body heat, basically. So heat stroke is traditionally the most
1:10.3	severe form of that illness and that's certainly
1:12.9	the one that people are probably most familiar with in terms of humans getting heat stroke when
1:17.2	it's too hot or animals getting heat stroke. But heat related illness really encompasses all grades.
1:23.6	So from the very mild, so overheating a little bit where you'd potentially have a bit of a headache and I need a drink and a sit down right up to the more severe form of heat stroke, which is life-threatening and does result in fatalities in people and animals every year.
