A method is presented for the treatment aboard ship of multiple patients afflicted with life-threatening heat illness, using an inflatable life raft cooling system. The potential benefits of this method include: (1) the utilization of readily available materials aboard U.S. Naval vessels; (2) the provision for rapid patient cooling by evaporation while maintaining patient safety and comfort; (3) the ability to treat many patients simultaneously with minimal attendant personnel; and (4) the maintenance of patient access allowing for monitoring and the administration of additional supportive measures.
本文介绍了一种使用充气式救生筏冷却系统在船上治疗多名患有危及生命的热射病患者的方法。该方法的潜在益处包括：（1）利用美国海军舰艇上随时可用的材料；（2）通过蒸发实现患者快速降温，同时确保患者安全与舒适；（3）以最少的护理人员同时治疗多名患者的能力；（4）保持对患者的接触，以便进行监测和采取额外的支持措施。
