AbstractHypothermia is a potentially preventable consequence of injury in the trauma patient. The physiologic aftermath of hypothermia is such that it is regarded as one of the three components in the trauma triad of death. A multidisciplinary group at a Level I trauma center was formed to originate an innovative team approach to managing temperature in trauma patients. This article describes this unique project to combat a preventable cause of significant morbidity and mortality.
