Whole Body Cooling

The rate of heat loss through the stretched wings (Hwings) was studied in resting pigeons preheated to a body temperature (43.7°C) within the range of those recorded during flight. The experimental system was designed to allow the calculation of Hwings from the increase in whole-body cooling rates resulting from exposure of the wings to various wind speeds (0–50 km h−1) at 23°C. The maximum value of HWings was 3.8 W, less than twice the heat production of a resting pigeon. This indicates that the contribution of the wings to heat dissipation during flight may not be nearly as important as has been supposed. At low windspeeds (0–12.5 km h−1), HWings corresponded to about 40% of the resting rate of heat production, and this value is discussed in connection with the various wing postures observed in hyperthermic birds.

Abstract Objective To describe the clinical characteristics and risk factors in infants with subcutaneous fat necrosis (SFN) following therapeutic hypothermia for hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE). Methods A case-control study was performed by a retrospective chart review of infants with moderate or severe HIE admitted to a level IV regional perinatal center and who underwent whole-body cooling. Results A total of 14 (8.1%) of 171 infants with moderate or severe HIE who underwent whole-body cooling developed SFN during hospitalization. There were more females [71% (10/14)] and large-for-gestational age (LGA) infants [28% (4/14)] in the SFN group vs. 36% females (57/157) and 8% LGA infants (13/157) in the group without SFN (P-values of 0.009 and 0.015, respectively). The mean lowest platelet count was lower 108 ± 55 109/L vs. 146 ± 62 109/L and the mean highest calcium level was higher 11.3 ± 2.5 vs. 10.6 ± 0.8 mg/dL in infants with SFN vs. infants without SFN, respectively (P-values of 0.0078 and 0.006, respectively). Distribution of skin lesions followed distinctive patterns representing the areas with direct contact with the cooling blanket. One infant developed severe, life-threatening hypercalcemia that required aggressive management, including diuretics, corticosteroids and bisphosphonates. Conclusion Although SFN is a rare complication of therapeutic hypothermia, it can be a life-threatening condition if complicated by severe hypercalcemia. Infants who undergo therapeutic hypothermia for HIE need regular skin examinations to evaluate for SFN. If SFN is identified, monitoring of serum calcium levels to prevent life-threatening hypercalcemia is recommended.

Oxide Synthase

When separated from local cooling, whole body cooling elicited cutaneous reflex vasoconstriction via mechanisms independent of nitric oxide removal. Hypoxia elicited cutaneous vasodilatation via mechanisms mediated primarily by nitric oxide synthase, rather than xanthine oxidase-mediated nitrite reduction. Cold-induced vasoconstriction was blunted by the opposing effect of hypoxic vasodilatation, whereas the underpinning mechanisms did not interrelate in the absence of local cooling. Full vasoconstriction was restored with nitric oxide synthase inhibition.

Physiological Reactions

The use of low temperature on the whole human body switched on beneficial physiological reactions. Whole-body cryotherapy is used as a part of rehabilitation. There were reported studies of thermal imaging performed due to whole body cooling in case of patients suffering from different diseases that showed a significant enhancement of the skin temperature gradient observed after cryotherapy. That explains that such therapeutic technique like whole-body cryotherapy can be used as a part of infrared thermography diagnostic procedure.

Whole Body Cooling

Heat production and body temperatures were measured in matched groups of U.S. Negro and white soldiers during whole body cooling and finger temperatures were measured when only the digits were cooled. Whole body cooling was accomplished by having the subjects, clad only in shorts, sit for 2 hours in a chamber at 50℉ with a 5-mph wind. Digital cooling was accomplished by having the subjects immerse the fingers in a water bath at 32℉ for 45 minutes. During whole body cooling there were no group differences with respect to the following: heat production, skin and rectal temperatures. During digital cooling white subjects had higher finger temperatures and the ‘hunting’ reaction was more pronounced than for Negroes. In addition, the white subjects required a shorter period for the onset of the first ‘rewarming’ of the fingers. The implications of these findings with reference to the reported higher incidence of cold injury among Negro soldiers are discussed. Submitted on February 19, 1959
