    Summary

    White rats experienced severe hypothermia when immersed in 1°C water, with breathing arrest occurring as core body temperatures dropped significantly. Organ temperatures varied, with the brain cooling to 16.7-18.2°C and muscles to 8.3-12.0°C.

    Area of Science:

    • Physiology
    • Thermoregulation
    • Hypothermia research

    Context:

    • Investigating physiological responses to extreme cold water immersion.
    • Understanding mammalian tolerance to severe hypothermia.

    Purpose:

    • To precisely measure body core and surface temperatures in rats during cold water immersion.
    • To determine the relationship between body temperature and respiratory arrest in hypothermic conditions.

    Summary:

    • White rats were immersed in 1°C water, with precise thermometry applied to the brain, liver, rectum, muscles, and skin.
    • Breathing arrest occurred within 15-18 minutes, at which point brain temperatures ranged from 16.7-18.2°C, liver 12.7-15.2°C, rectum 10.4-15.5°C, muscle 8.3-12.0°C, and skin surface 1.6-5.0°C.

    Impact:

    • Provides critical data on differential organ cooling rates during acute hypothermia.
    • Informs understanding of survival limits and physiological responses in cold water immersion incidents.
    • Establishes temperature thresholds for critical physiological functions like respiration in hypothermic mammals.
