Use of an intravascular temperature control catheter for rewarming of hypothermic trauma patients with ongoing hemorrhagic shock after combined damage control thoracotomy and laparotomy: A case series

Use of an IVTCC may be a minimally-invasive, practical, and effective method for rewarming critically ill trauma patients with ongoing hemorrhagic shock after multi-cavitary damage control surgery. Further studies are needed to compare this technology with currently available rewarming methods.
