Active External Rewarming from Accidental Hypothermia - a Dose-response Pilot Study
Sponsor: Haukeland University Hospital
Summary
The aim of this pilot study is to evaluate if there is a dose-response relationship between the use of active external rewarming devices and core temperature rewarming rate from simulated accidental hypothermia. Volunteer research participants will be cooled in a field laboratory, and they will recieve medications to inhibit shivering, enabeling a drop in core temperature. Subsequently, they will be treated with either one, two or four heating blankets, and analyses will be performed to investigate whether we are able to find a difference between the three groups.
