To show that resuscitation from hypothermic, hemorrhagic shock using 65 degrees C intravenous fluid results in a more rapid return to euthermia compared with 40 degrees C intravenous fluid, without significant endothelial or hemolytic injury. ⋯ Central intravenous fluid at 65 degrees C is a more rapid means of treating hypothermia than standard 40 degrees C intravenous fluid. It is safe even in hypovolemic animals.
