“…First, the assessor would observe the patient from the foot of the bed; next, the assessor would place his or her hand on the patient's jaw and upper T herapeutic temperature management (TTM) is being instituted with increasing frequency in patients after cardiac arrest and acute brain injury. [1][2][3][4][5] Preclinical data and results of clinical studies support the use of hypothermia and fever reduction to reduce secondary brain injury. 4,[6][7][8] However, authors cite shivering as either a complication of TTM or a hurdle to overcome, often functioning as a barrier to implementation of TTM.…”

“…All other interventions should either be used in conjunction or until the source of the fever can be identified. Antipyretics may be used although they are rarely efficacious [34,36,38,84], especially if thermoregulatory centers have been damaged from a neurologic insult [38]. Cooling with a forced air device in the intensive care unit has been shown to be ineffective [38], however failure was attributed to intolerance from the patient, shivering, and vasoconstriction which all can be avoided with general anesthesia.…”

“…Packing the patient in ice or using a traditional cooling blanket is inadequate, and these methods can cause significant skin damage [31,34,84,98,99]. Catheter-based heat exchange devices [34,79,85,86], advanced surface cooling devices [34,87], and intravenous infusions of cooled liquids [7,31,83], have all been found to be highly effective at reducing body temperature.…”

“…No other disease is so severe, so complicated and so difficult to treat as jwara 2 . According to modern science, Pyrexia is defined as body temperature above the normal range due to an increase in the temperature regulatory set-point 3 . Pyrexia is either a symptom of a disease or disease itself.…”
