Published	12/13/2023	An esophageal temperature probe should be placed in the {{c1::distal ⅓}} of the esophagus.
Published	12/13/2023	{{c1::Skin}} temperature is generally much cooler than core temperature
Published	12/13/2023	The three main pathways for thermoregulation involve {{c1::afferent sensing}}, {{c1::central processing}}, and {{c1::efferent responses}}
Published	12/13/2023	The {{c1::preoptic anterior hypothalamus}} is the central autonomic thermoregulatory center
Published	12/13/2023	The first phase of anesthetic-impaired thermoregulation is {{c1::redistribution hypothermia}}
Published	12/13/2023	The most important heat transfer mechanism in the OR is {{c1::radiation}}
Published	12/13/2023	The 2nd most important heat transfer mechanism in the OR is {{c1::convection}}
Published	12/13/2023	The 3rd most important heat transfer mechanism in the OR is {{c1::evaporation}}.
Published	12/13/2023	The least important heat transfer mechanism in the OR is {{c1::conduction}}
Published	12/13/2023	Hypothermia can lead to partial protection of the CNS from {{c1::ischemic}} and {{c1::traumatic}} injuries
Published	12/13/2023	Shivering can increase O2 consumption by up to {{c1::500%}}.
Published	12/13/2023	The efferent response to hypothermia involves contraction of {{c1::errector pili}} muscles.
