Eidstuen SC, et al. - Researchers studied the changes in core body temperature of trauma patients during different treatment phases in the pre-hospital and early in-hospital settings and found that trauma patients were at risk for hypothermia already at the scene of injury. In view of this finding, early prevention of heat loss in trauma patients should be the focus of lay persons and professionals and immediate implementation of an active, individually tailored approach to counter hypothermia in trauma was recommended, beginning at the scene of injury and continued during transportation to hospital. Moreover, considering active rewarming during evacuation was recommended.
