Heat stroke is a life-threatening condition that is characterized by body temperatures above 40 °C and central nervous system dysfunction.

Here, we report two cases of heat stroke that highlight the use of a novel cooling suit (CarbonCool®) as a rapid cooling intervention administered in the prehospital setting, primarily focusing on patients with classic heat stroke.
