Figure 1. Effect of external cooling on core temperature and VO2 in febrile patients with SIRS.

Figure 1

Six patients with SIRS and core temperature ≥38.8°C despite receiving acetaminophen were subjected to cooling using cooling blankets and ice packs for 90 min and core temperature (A) and VO2 (B) were measured every 15 min. Mean ± SE. Differences were tested by repeated measures ANOVA and p-values are indicated.
