Novel Measurement Approaches Are Needed in The Pre-Hospital Setting to Prevent Accidental Hypothermia
The Journal of High Threat and Austere Medicine, Vol.3(1), pp.1-6
2021
Abstract
Accidental hypothermia can be fatal if not recognised early, and effective management relies on the accurate recording of core body temperature. The focus of this critique - a recent study by Podsiadło et al. (2019) – highlighted the need for reliable measurement of core body temperature in the pre-hospital and austere setting. An esophageal temperature probe may prove to be a reliable, and best practice approach for measuring core body temperature in critically unwell, unconscious patients suffering accidental hypothermia.
