The first resource instead has been the Civil Protection of the municipality, which has started basic cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), and two minutes later the Summa112 crews have appeared, who have verified that the patient had a temper
body temperature
of 40ºC and was in arrest.
They have performed advanced CPR maneuvers
for 35 minutes but finally they have not been able to reverse the stop
and have confirmed death.
The most probable cause of death, they insist from Emergencies112,
has been a heat stroke
, given the high temperature of the victim, cardiac arrest and that he did not present previous pathologies that justified his body temperature.
The Carlos III Health Institute, dependent on the Ministry of Health,
estimates 90 deaths in the Community of Madrid attributable to the high temperatures
recorded in the first six days of the heat wave that affects Spain and that correspond to the period which runs from July 10, the start of the wave, to Friday the 15th.
