Q: What is the recommended rate of rewarming following
therapeutic hypothermia?
Answer: About 0.17 °C/hr (0.31 °F/hr)
Most deaths caused by therapeutic hypothermia occurred during the rewarming phase of the procedure. Quick re-warming causes harmful
spikes in intracranial pressure.
At least 24 hours should be given to re-warm
patient from 32–34 °C.
