    Summary

    Breathing hot air enhanced core rewarming from hypothermia. Hyperventilation significantly increased core temperature gain compared to normal breathing, suggesting a method to accelerate rewarming.

    Area of Science:

    • Physiology
    • Environmental Medicine
    • Thermoregulation

    Background:

    • Hypothermia poses significant health risks, necessitating effective rewarming strategies.
    • Inhalation rewarming with heated air is a potential method for core temperature restoration.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To quantify the core temperature gain from inhalation rewarming using heated air.
    • To compare the efficacy of normal breathing versus hyperventilation during inhalation rewarming.

    Main Methods:

    • 10 subjects were cooled in 12°C seawater until a 2°C rectal temperature drop.
    • Subjects underwent rewarming via inhalation of 45°C saturated air for 30 minutes.
    • Two conditions were tested: normal breathing and controlled hyperventilation (50 L/min).

    Main Results:

    • Hyperventilation resulted in a significantly greater mean rectal temperature increase (0.77°C) compared to normal breathing (0.39°C).
    • Tympanic temperature gains were also higher with hyperventilation (1.5°C vs. 1.1°C).
    • Each 10 L/min increase in ventilation with hot air accelerated core rewarming by approximately 0.3°C/h.

    Conclusions:

    • Hyperventilation during inhalation rewarming significantly enhances core temperature gain.
    • Increasing ventilation rate with hot air is an effective strategy to accelerate rewarming from hypothermia.
    • This study quantifies the relationship between ventilation and rewarming rate, providing valuable data for clinical application.
