[Clinico-physiologic aspects of local hypothermia of the extremities]
Abstract:
The article presents generalization of an experience with performing 388 hypothermias of extremities in 101 patients with various isolated multiple and associated traumas of the supporting-locomotory system. With the help of multifactorial mathematical analysis of clinico-physiological data the authors have revealed the dependence of antiedematic, analgetic and vascular effects of hypothermia on the initial state of the patient, his age, degree of disorders of the central nervous system functions and other factors. The best effect was obtained after 3h local hypothermia and the 2-5 degrees C lower temperature of the extremity skin.

Jugular Venous Pressure (JVP) Measurement
Position the patient at a thirty- to forty-five-degree angle or in a semi-fowler's position. Look for the highest point of pulsation in the internal jugular vein and measure the vertical distance to the angle of Loius or sternal angle. A normal JVP is 3-4 cm above the...
