Hypothermia in trauma patients is a common condition. It is aggravated by traumatic
hemorrhage, which leads to hypovolemic shock. This hypovolemic shock results in a lethal …

Hypothermia is present in up to two-thirds of patients with severe injury, although it is often
disregarded during the initial resuscitation. Studies have revealed that hypothermia is …

Importance Current prehospital traumatic brain injury guidelines use a systolic blood
pressure threshold of less than 90 mm Hg for treating hypotension for individuals 10 years …

Background Accidental hypothermia concerns a body core temperature of less than 35° C
without a primary defect in the thermoregulatory system. It is a serious threat to prehospital …

The human body strives at maintaining homeostasis within fairly tight regulated mechanisms
that control vital regulators such as core body temperature, mechanisms of metabolism and …

Background Multiple trauma in mountain environments may be associated with increased
morbidity and mortality compared to urban environments. Objective To provide evidence …

Background Accidental hypothermia is a known predictor for worse outcomes in trauma
patients, but has not been comprehensively assessed in a meta-analysis so far. The aim of …

Background Hypothermia, acidosis and coagulopathy have long been considered critical
combinations after severe injury. The aim of this review was to give a clinical update on this …

Background Prevention and treatment of hypothermia by active warming in prehospital
trauma care is recommended but scientifical evidence of its effectiveness in a clinical setting …

Moderate therapeutic hypothermia procedures are used in post-cardiac arrest care, while in
surgical procedures, lower core temperatures are often utilized to provide cerebral …
