The effect of induced normothermia on the outcomes of severe traumatic brain injury patients at Boston Medical Center
… work was to evaluate the efficacy of an induced normothermia protocol by comparing patient mortality and outcomes in patients treated at Boston Medical Center (BMC) before and after the implementation of the protocol. The controls (regular fever management) and the cases (induced normothermia) …

Cardioprotective treatment strategies
… both infarct size (hypothermia: 60.8±4.9 vs normothermia: 73.8±4.0 %AAR, p<0.05) and microvascular obstruction (hypothermia: 0.5±0.5 vs normothermia: 21.5±5.2 %IS, p<0.001). Hypothermia also inhibited an increase in coronary net t-PA release during reperfusion (paper IV; hypothermia: …

Implementation of a Warming Protocol to Prevent Inadvertent Perioperative Hypothermia in the Ambulatory Surgical Setting
… While an audit of the microsystem revealed a normothermia rate of 28%, a standardized warming protocol is expected to increase the normothermia rate to 90%. The project is vital because it reduces costs from postoperative complications, promotes best safe practices and quality care, and …

Implementation of a Warming Intervention Protocol to Prevent Inadvertent Perioperative Hypothermia in the Ambulatory Surgical Setting
… at the project’s setting revealed a 68% normothermia rate. It was the goal of the project to reach a normothermia rate of 90%, as benchmarked by the Center of Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) quality metrics.</p> <p><strong>Interventions:</strong> This project aimed to improve the …

Examining the roles of core and local temperature on forearm skin blood flow
… pressure. Tloc manipulations performed during normothermia had significantly greater effects on CVC than during hyperthermia. The decreased modification to SkBF from the Tloc changes during hyperthermia suggests that strong reflexive vasodilation attenuates local SkBF control mechanisms.

Hypothermia as an adjunctive therapy in Acute Myocardial Infarction and Cardiogenic Shock
… abolished microvascular obstruction compared to normothermia. Furthermore, the hypothermia protocol achieved a reduction in core body temperature to < 35°C in <10 min. However, hypothermia induced at the onset of reperfusion reduced microvascular obstruction by 66%, but did not affect infarct …

Cardiac arrest and therapeutic hypothermia: Prognosis and outcome
… that a continuous aEEG-pattern prior to or at normothermia strongly correlated to return of consciousness, while other patterns strongly correlated to continued coma. A status epilepticus aEEG-pattern carried a poor, but not desolate prognosis. Biochemical neuronal-markers (neuron-specific …

Novel Agonists and Antagonists of Platelet Receptors
… on platelets, treated with mild hypothermia and normothermia in the presence of P2Y12 inhibitors. We found that mild hypothermia increased platelet P2Y12 activation and that the P2Y12 inhibitor, clopidogrel, lost in efficiency. The P2Y12 receptor is also present on vascular smooth muscle cells …

Electroencephalography for neurological prognostication after cardiac arrest
… background at start of registration or at normothermia strongly predicted a good outcome. All patients with electrographic status epilepticus (ESE) evolving from a burst-suppression background died without regaining consciousness whereas ESE evolving late from an established continuous …
