Abstract

The incidence of heatstroke in children has been reported to be between 29 to 37 children per year from 2018 to present. The incidence is higher in case of animals and pets, with 163 animals in 2023 that succumbed to hyperthermia after being left in the cars. Most hypotheses suggest memory lapse, fatigue, stress, and habit changes could be the underlying cause of such events. It is necessary to examine four types of vehicles commonly used in the United States, and evaluate the internal temperature rise at different times of the day. This sample of increased temperature in these vehicles demonstrates the importance of prevention and proactive planning in car manufacturing. In addition, we will further examine new bills being introduced to prevent child and pet deaths.
