B., Denninghoff, K. R., Chikani, V., Bobrow, B. J., & Barnhart, B. J. (2017). Body Temperature after EMS Transport: Association with Traumatic Brain Injury Outcomes.. Prehospital emergency care : official journal of the National Association of EMS Physicians and the National Association of State EMS Directors, 21(5), 575-582. doi:10.1080/10903127.2017.1308609
    More info
    Low body temperatures following prehospital transport are associated with poor outcomes in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI). However, a minimal amount is known about potential associations across a range of temperatures obtained immediately after prehospital transport. Furthermore, a minimal amount is known about the influence of body temperature on non-mortality outcomes. The purpose of this study was to assess the correlation between temperatures obtained immediately following prehospital transport and TBI outcomes across the entire range of temperatures..This retrospective observational study included all moderate/severe TBI cases (CDC Barell Matrix Type 1) in the pre-implementation cohort of the Excellence in Prehospital Injury Care (EPIC) TBI Study (NIH/NINDS: 1R01NS071049). Cases were compared across four cohorts of initial trauma center temperature (ITCT):
