Q: Why ice packs should be applied to the axillae, groin, and neck during Therapeutic Hypothermia (TH)?


Answer: 

The easiest way to achieve therapeutic hypothermia is to apply cooling blankets above and below the patient, and ice packs applied to the axillae, groin, and neck as they are adjacent to major blood vessels.
