Nakajima M, et al. - Researchers examined the influence of long-distance air medical transport on patients' body temperatures and the relationship between body temperature change and mortality among retrospectively enrolled consecutive patients transferred via helicopter or plane from isolated islands to an emergency medical center in Tokyo, Japan between April 2010 and December 2016. They noted a significant association of in-hospital death with (i) hyperthermia (>38.0 °C) or normothermia (36.0–37.9 °C) before air transport and hypothermia after air transport, and (ii) winter season. They recommended considering body temperature change during long-distance air transport in patients with not only hypothermia but also normothermia or hyperthermia before air transport, especially in winter.
