hypothermia/dental caries

BACKGROUND This study aims to record the variations of the anterior chamber and vitreous cavity temperature after application of local hypothermia. METHODS Local hypothermia was applied on 20 rabbits' eyes after general anesthesia using a liquid which had been placed in a special plastic container

This case report describes the resuscitation of a 19-year-old man who had been immersed in ice water for 14 h and presented with a rectal temperature of 22 degrees C and no pulses. It reports the successful use of prolonged cardiac massage (3.5 h) and closed thoracic cavity lavage in the treatment

Life-threatening hypothermia can be treated by active and passive rewarming techniques, the treatment of choice being partial cardiopulmonary bypass. The use of closed thoracic cavity lavage has been evaluated in animals, but no formal presentations in human beings have been reported. We report two

A study was undertaken to compare warm gastric (Group 1) and closed thoracic cavity (Group 2) lavage for rewarming severely hypothermic dogs. Adult mongrel dogs were monitored by intra-arterial catheter, central venous catheter, and ECG, and by central venous, esophageal, and rectal temperature

After normothermic cardiac arrest in dogs, we found that mild hypothermia (34 degrees C) of 1-2 h reduced brain damage, providing that hypothermia was achieved within 15 min of reperfusion. A clinically feasible rapid brain-cooling method is needed. As head-neck surface cooling alone in dogs was

To identify lung findings specific to fatal hypothermia on postmortem computed tomography (CT) imaging. Whole body CT scans were performed followed by full autopsy to investigate causes of death. There were 13 fatal hypothermia cases (group A) and 118 with other causes of death (group B). The chest

To quantify the immediate hypothermic response to an injection of NiCl2, and to delineate the ensuing derangements of circadian rhythms, the core body temperature and physical activity of rats were monitored by radiotelemetry from a thermistor probe implanted in the peritoneal cavity. The rats were
