<prompt> Hypothermia in elderly maleDecrease heart rateDecrease in cardiac out putMay cause MIAll of the above  <response>: AH of the above: Ref: 122-H,304-Sabiston 17th 135-H17thHYPOTHERMIA:Body response include Decrease in cardiac output Reduction in heart rate Cardiac arrhythmias 35degC - Coagulation is significantly affected as well as platelet functions Bleeding become more serious problemsHypothermia associated with sepsis is a poor prognostic sign. Hepatic failure causes decreased glycogen stores and gluconeogenesis, as well as a diminished shivering response. In acute MI associated with low cardiac out, hypothermia may be reversed after adequate resuscitation.
