What treatments are permissible when the temperature is above 104 degrees Fahrenheit?

In scenarios where the temperature exceeds 104 degrees Fahrenheit, it's critical to understand the risks associated with high temperatures during underwater rescue operations. At such elevated temperatures, the physiological responses of the body can be severely compromised, leading to increased risk of heat-related illnesses.

In this context, the appropriate guideline suggests that when the temperature is at or above 104 degrees Fahrenheit, no treatments should be administered. This is because the potential for worsening the individual’s condition, such as causing heat stress or other complications, outweighs any possible benefits of treatment. The focus here is on ensuring safety and avoiding exacerbation of any on-board medical issues.

This approach prioritizes the health and safety of individuals in critical conditions and minimizes the risk of further complications that could arise from administering treatments in such extreme thermal conditions. It's important to adhere strictly to this guideline to ensure the best possible outcomes in rescue situations.
