Study of Heat and Intravenous Fluids for Exogenous Rewarming

Study of Heat and Intravenous Fluids for Exogenous Rewarming (SHIVER)

• Healthy volunteers: Accepted

Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare two novel active rewarming techniques in mildly hypothermic people. Volunteers will undergo 3 cooling trials in a circulating bath at 14 degrees celsius and will then be rewarmed with either shivering alone, warmed iv fluids (IVF), or water perfusion pads applied to the hands and feet. The investigators hypothesize that both heated IVF and water perfusion pads to the arteriovenous anastomoses (AVAs) will prove to provide significantly superior rewarming rates than shivering alone.

Conditions

• Hypothermia

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Warmed IV fluids	1 Liter of warmed IV fluids at 42 degrees celsius
OTHER	Warmed perfusion pads	Neoprene perfusion pads placed on the palms and soles to rewarm through focusing on the arteriovenous anastomoses
