P2NBC2 Heat Strain Decision Aid (Users' Guide)
Abstract
During the past two decades, the US Army Research Institute for Environmental Medicine (USARIEM) has established a database with an associated series of predictive equations for the core temperatures, heart rates, and water requirements of soldiers performing physical work in various environmental conditions and clothing configurations. Employing the database and equations, USARIEM personnel developed a Hewlett-Packard 41-CV handheld calculator implementation, which predicts the amounts of heat strain that soldiers would experience in given sets of conditions and determines appropriate work/recovery and water intake regimens.
