Impact of Hypothermia in the Rural Trauma Patient
Journal of the American College of Surgeons, 09/23/09

Waibel BH et al. – Hypothermia is a common problem at admission in a rural trauma center. It is associated with an increase in hospitalized days but not with increased ICU or ventilator days among survivors.
