Does a rapid increase in foot tissue temperature predict cardiovascular collapse during anaphylactic and anaphylactoid reactions?
The normal core-to-peripheral tissue temperature gradient was obliterated several minutes before hemodynamic consequences associated with anaphylactic and anaphylactoid reactions. Further, a rapid increase in deep foot temperature and maximum core temperature correlated with clinical severity.
The DHI was found a valid method in the assessment of hand functions in patients with tetraplegia.
