Abstract
Exertional heat illness (EHI) is an increasing cause of morbidity and mortality where physical activity is conducted, particularly in hot conditions.

This consensus statement provides evidence-based guidance and expert recommendations on the recognition, diagnosis and immediate management of EHI in the prehospital environment.
