Hypothermia Rewarming With Distal Limb Warming

NCT01827449 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 8

Last updated 2015-12-03

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The study will compare the rewarming effectiveness of heat donation through the distal arms and legs during rewarming of mildly hypothermic subjects. Warming will be accomplished through either warm water immersion; and fluidotherapy. The investigators hypothesize that fluidotherapy will be as, or more, effective compared to warm water immersion

Conditions

  • Rewarming by Shivering Heat Production Only
  • Rewarming by Arm and Leg Immersion in Warm Water
  • Rewarming by Arm and Leg Exposure to Fluidotherapy

Interventions

DEVICE

Fluidotherapy warming device

Device uses airborne heated cellulose particles which are blown against the skin to provide convective warming.
