Summary

Maintaining inspired gas temperature between 32-34°C is recommended for intubated patients. Current data show that altering inspired gas temperature is not an effective method for controlling body temperature.

Area of Science:

  • Critical care medicine
  • Physiology

Background:

  • Maintaining normothermia is crucial for patient outcomes.
  • Thermoregulation in intubated patients presents unique challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of inspired gas temperature manipulation for body temperature control in intubated patients.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current data and clinical evidence regarding inspired gas temperature and body temperature regulation.

Main Results:

  • Inspired gas temperature adjustments show limited effectiveness in controlling core body temperature.
  • Optimal inspired gas temperature range identified as 32°C to 34°C for intubated patients.

Conclusions:

  • Body temperature management in intubated patients requires strategies beyond inspired gas temperature control.
  • Focus should be placed on optimizing other methods to achieve and maintain normothermia.
