Abstract
The metabolic response to injury can be modified by raising the environmental temperature to 32 degrees C. A prospective study using the Clinitron fluidised bed showed this to be a suitable alternative to a warm room. Overall total urinary nitrogen savings were significant (p less than 0.001) in a warm environment although individual patients showed some variation in the degree of response. Overall the trend is encouraging and merits further attention an investigation in severe injury.Entities:
