Body temperature is balanced by heat loss and heat production, thus maintaining normothermia between 35.6[degrees]C to 37.8[degrees]C (Marieb 2004).

Inadvertent hypothermia in the operating theatre: an examination

The goals of anaesthetic management are adequate depth of anaesthesia, methods to decrease intracranial tension, along with maintenance of normothermia (avoidance of hyperthermia).

Anaesthesia, in non-theatre environment: safety consideration

A total of 58 patients were enrolled, with 30 patients randomized to normothermia and 28 patients randomized to hypothermia treatment, using intravascular cooling to 33[degrees]C.

All studies were prospective trials and compared a controlled normothermia group with a hypothermia group.

The use of hypothermia as a treatment for traumatic brain injury

With normothermia, the patient's cardiac rhythm, urine output and arterial blood pressure returned to normal.

Using an intravascular device to reverse refractory burn-associated hypothermia

Maintaining normothermia, or mild hypothermia, is crucial in modifying cerebral metabolic processes that contribute to secondary brain injury.

Intravascular temperature modulation as an adjunct to secondary brain injury prevention in a patient with an epidural hematoma

The blood removed from the patient during the exchanges was processed allowing storage and re- infusion of the patient's plasma and platelets Combined preoperative and intraoperative exchange transfusions, instead of a single stage 50% volume exchange, was effective and potentially avoids larger haemodynamic effects Cardiopulmonary bypass was conducted at normothermia and cold cardiopleya was avoided (fibrillatory arrest was used during the surgical repair).
