Abstract: This paper reports a case of acute pulmonary edema caused by exertional heat stroke due to imbalance of body heat production and heat dissipation caused by high intensity military training physical activities. The patient's lesions developed rapidly and pulmonary edema progressed rapidly and diffusingly. After early identification, active invasive mechanical ventilation and hormone therapy, the pulmonary imaging lesions of pulmonary edema were rapidly absorbed, and the dyspnea was improved. This article discusses the incidence, imaging features and treatment of acute pulmonary edema caused by exertional heat stroke, and provides reference for clinical diagnosis and treatment.
