Does rapid body cooling by cold fluid infusion prolong survival time during uncontrolled hemorrhagic shock in pigs?
In lightly anesthetized pigs during uncontrolled hemorrhagic shock, infusion with 4 degrees C lactated Ringer's solution (which seems to be feasible in the clinical setting) decreases the core temperature rapidly and prolongs survival.
Hair may be an important source for transfer and deposition of cat allergen in schools and may explain why cat allergen is found in environments with strict allergen avoidance measures. Although it may be unrealistic to apply allergen avoidance strategies against this allergen source, it is important to be aware of it.
