Effects of mild hypohydration on cooling during cold-water immersion following exertional hyperthermia.
We investigated the effects of mild hypohydration compared to euhydration on the cooling efficacy of cold-water immersion (CWI). ⋯ The primary finding was that hypohydration modestly attenuates the rate of cooling in exertionally hyperthermic individuals. Regardless of hydration status, the cooling efficacy of CWI was preserved and should continue to be utilized in the treatment of exertional hyperthermia.
