Traumatic Hypothermia Is Related to Hypotension, Not Resuscitation
Study objective: To determine whether posttraumatic hypothermia is associated with hemorrhage or with resuscitation. Methods: We used a sequential hemorrhage-resuscitation rat model. Rats were subjected to hemorrhage (30 mL/kg), then 1 hour of shock, followed by 2:1 crystalloid/blood resuscitation (...

Zusammenfassung: | Study objective: To determine whether posttraumatic hypothermia is associated with hemorrhage or with resuscitation.
Methods: We used a sequential hemorrhage-resuscitation rat model. Rats were subjected to hemorrhage (30 mL/kg), then 1 hour of shock, followed by 2:1 crystalloid/blood resuscitation (60 mL/kg) at ambient temperature. A control group underwent neither hemorrhage nor resuscitation.
Results: We recorded core temperature and blood pressure every 10 minutes. Temperature drop averaged 3.4°C and was fastest during hypotensive shock. Rate of temperature change correlated with blood pressure (β=.0102,
