Drumheller BC, et al. - Researchers sought to determine the efficacy (rewarming rate) and safety (associated adverse events) of the intravascular temperature control catheter (IVTCC) system for rewarming of hypothermic trauma patients with ongoing hemorrhagic shock after combined damage control thoracotomy and laparotomy. Analysis of the medical records of all patients admitted to their multi-trauma intensive care unit from July 1, 2015 – December 31, 2017 revealed that for rewarming critically ill trauma patients with ongoing hemorrhagic shock, use of an IVTCC may be a minimally-invasive, practical, and effective method after multi-cavitary damage control surgery.
