So, as I'm studying I have some confusion about mild hypothermia. In big blue Jensen states that 33 C effects are HTN, tachy, increased CO, increased O2 consump and hyperventilation.
Normally, he has references but doesn't concerning this. Everywhere else I look: Barash, Baby Miller, Roizen etc I cannot confirm any of this. Furthermore, O2 consumption is supposed to dec by 10%/C degree drop.
Is this drop from 36 degrees? I guess it would be since below 36 is hypothermic.
Can anyone clear this stuff up? I don't have access to Big Miller btw.
Thanks!
