hypothermia

Unlike cooling, rewarming should be gradual and take place over 8-24 hours. If the patient is stable, simply reset the Arctic Sun at 37C with a rewarming rate of0.1C/hr. If the patient develops hemodynamic instability, dysrhythmia, or severe bleeding while being cooled, start rewarming to 37C immediately at a rate of 0.3C/hr
