hypothermia is one of the main causes of neonatal mortality in developing countries. the aim of this prospective study was to determine the relationship between hypothermia at birth and the risk of mortality or morbidity among neonates born in imam hospital in tehran, iran. during a one-year period, body temperature was taken from all newborns using a low-reading rectal thermometer, immediately...

Evoked potentials recorded from the somatosensory cortex have been shown to be an electrophysiological marker of brain injury in global hypoxic ischemia (HI). The evoked responses in somatosensory neurons carry information pertaining to signal from the ascending pathway in both the subcortical and cortical areas. In this study, origins of the subcortical and cortical signals are explored by dec...

Background: Ondansetron and hypothermia are both known to induce bradycardia or QT interval prolongation, thus placing affected patients at risk of cardiac arrest. Case Report: Herein, we report the case a 97-year-old woman who initially presented with confusion hypothermia, experienced severe asystolic arrest after 4 mg intravenous ondansetron bolus injection. Conclusion: is associated QTc whi...

Abstract The aim of the present study was to establish a novel method for inducing deep hypothermia in rats. Cooling rats anesthetized with isoflurane caused time-dependent decrease rectal temperature, but cardiac arrest occurred before their body temperature reached 20 °C when inhalation continued during cooling process. Stopping 22.5 successfully induced hypothermia, although stopping at 27.5...

abstract background: after the umbilical cord is cut, premature neonates face numerous problems including hypothermia. with regard to serious complications of hypothermia and incapability of conventional methods in preservation of neonates’ temperature after admission, the researcher decided to conduct a study on the effects of two polyethylene covers in prevention of hypothermia among prematur...
