In the United States, there are more than 650 deaths per year from hypothermia. The
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that between 1979 and 2002, a total of …

The induction of hypothermia for cellular protection is well established in several clinical
settings. Its role in trauma patients, however, is controversial. This review discusses the …

The dichotomy between laboratory findings that show a benefit of hypothermia and clinical
findings that suggest detrimental effects remains difficult to explain. For now, preventing …

Methods: Pigs were prepared under isoflurane anesthesia. After laparotomy, venous blood
(75 mL/kg) was continuously withdrawn over 3 hours (no systemic heparin). At HS 35 …

Markers of serotonergic, γ‐aminobutyric acid (GABA)‐ergic (glutamic acid decarboxylase,
67 kDa isoform; GAD‐67), and glutamatergic transmission (vesicular glutamate transporter …

Background Our previous and other studies have shown that hypotensive or hypothermic
resuscitation have beneficial effects on uncontrolled hemorrhagic shock. Whether …

Background: Hypothermia is a frequent manifestation after trauma-induced hemorrhagic
shock. Clinical studies have suggested that hypothermia is an independent risk variable …

INTRODUCTION: Although, hypothermia is a frequent event after trauma, it is unclear
whether its beneficial or detrimental effects are more important. This study aims to quantify …

Background: Hypothermia after trauma is, in current medical practice, both avoided and
aggressively treated. However, the effects of environmental hypothermia during early …

Background Rewarming is a recommended therapy during the resuscitation of hypothermic
patients with hemorrhagic shock. In experimental models, however, it increases …
