1. Hypothermia
08/01/2008 - "Specific issues addressed include (1) the clinical and logistical reasons why thermal resuscitation should be attempted at all in such a difficult environment, (2) the thermodynamic reasons why warm intravenous fluids, although helpful in not worsening hypothermia, cannot safely transmit enough energy to treat established hypothermia, (3) which among the various methods of rewarming are most likely to result in successful therapy, and (4) the energetic considerations that dictate that any practical portable solution to the treatment of hypothermia must use hydrocarbon combustion as the source of heat."
02/01/2015 - "Hypothermia showed a significant neuroprotective effect, which can be improved with further studies optimizing the duration of hypothermia and the rewarming period. "
03/01/2007 - "Among these clinical trials, early application of hypothermia, maintenance of cerebral blood flow during hypothermia therapy and prevention of quick rewarming are pointed out to result in good outcome from clinical experiences. "
11/01/2003 - "Studies regarding the use of various active rewarming methods in severe hypothermia casualties revealed low rewarming efficacy for the low heat capacity methods, such as warm air inhalation, and a high rewarming efficacy for the high heat capacity methods, such as forced air methods."
01/01/2014 - "High-quality evidence on other warming methods is also lacking; therefore it is unclear whether other rewarming methods are effective in reversing postoperative hypothermia."
