Hypothermia therapy is also sometimes termed hypothermic neural rescue therapy. Deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (DHCA) is a surgical technique that induces deep medical hypothermia. EPR is similar to deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (DHCA) in that hypothermia is induced. Afterdrop is not observed in the rewarming of all hypothermic patients. This state is called deep hypothermic circulatory arrest. Temperatures may range from moderately hypothermic conditions to cryogenic temperatures. Terminal cases are hypothermic and may develop septic shock and disseminated intravascular coagulation. Homotaurine has also shown anticonvulsant activities, reduction in skeletal muscle tonus, and hypothermic activity. He also noted its hypothermic effect and suggested it may induce artificial hibernation. The authors applied a KOR agonist to K1 knockout mice, which eliminated hypothermic response. This technique was then specifically linked to patients who were hemorrhaging, hypothermic, and coagulopathic. Additionally, THC acts at the CB1 receptors to induce a hypothermic effect, lowering body temperature. Most recently, hypothermic brain protection has been associated with rapid brain cooling. A hypothermic, injured or unconscious victim may be quite incapable of helping themselves. A three-month old infant boy was severely hypothermic and was stabilized.
