Does premedication with famotidine augment core hypothermia during general anesthesia?
Premedication with famotidine augments intraoperative hypothermia. The mechanism appears to be inhibition of centrally mediated thermoregulatory control.
This study highlights the substantial impact of apparently "minor" motor vehicle crash injuries in a compensable setting and suggests targets for studies of tertiary prevention to improve health-related quality-of-life outcomes.
