Temperature Gradients During Hypothermia

Variability in Glycemic Control with Temperature Transitions during Therapeutic Hypothermia

PURPOSE Patients treated with therapeutic hypothermia (TH) and continuous insulin may be at increased risk of hyperglycemia or hypoglycemia, particularly during temperature transitions. This study aimed to evaluate frequency of glucose excursions during each phase of TH and to characterize glycemic control patterns in relation to survival. METHODS Patients admitted to a tertiary care hospital...

Therapeutic Hypothermia and Temperature Management.

The only peer-reviewed journal exploring all aspects of this innovative new technology for critical care situations. The Journal provides a multidisciplinary forum to ensure that therapeutic hypothermia is well understood and used to improve patient outcomes in cardiac arrest, traumatic brain and spinal cord injury, stroke, myocardial ischemia, and other emergency situations.

Hypothermia during Avalanche Burial

Core body temperature cooling during avalanche burial results in hypothermia, and further core temperature cooling during extrication and evacuation of an avalanche burial victim may result in more severe hypothermia. We performed two studies measuring the rate of core body temperature cooling during snow burial and after extrication from snow burial. Subjects were completely buried in a large ...

Temperature accuracy and temperature gradients in solution-state NMR spectrometers.

In solution-state NMR spectrometers, there is a systematic deviation between the temperature of the sample and the temperature reported by the spectrometer. In addition, temperature gradients are often present in the sample. The size of both the temperature deviations and the temperature gradients depends on several factors, including the temperature, the flow rate of the heating/cooling gas, a...
