  1. Ok here is my first topic go easy I have two questions. The other day a fellow EMT and I were talking about trauma patients. I told him about the trauma triangle of death. Hypothermia, coagulopathy and acidosis. He mention that he read a article about hypothermia being a good thing for trauma patients. Does anyone know more about this? I've done some reading but no articles show hypothermia being good for trauma patients. Any thoughts on keeping our trauma patients warm or not? In the process of looking for hypothermia in trauma I came across hypothermia therapy for MI. I've read a couple articles positive outcomes for randomized patients. Is there anything we can do as ems providers to start the HT process? Or be aware of when dealing with acute MI? Kn.ght1
