Here's what
the experts say:
"I used the cooling blanket
for one of my heat stress
patients and it worked superbly!
I can document a core temperature
DROP of 4 degrees with 15 minutes
and complete recovery. Here is
the background. A test subject,
superbly conditioned male, 25
years old, heart rate monitor
attached, (R) temperature probe,
and VO2 Max monitor attached,
worked out on a treadmill in
99(F) water for 50 minutes. His
core temperature climbed to 103.8
and he got nauseous and weak. We
immediately removed him from the
water and attached a read out
monitor to him while applying the
cooling blanket. His initial core
temp went UP after coming out of
the water as the pool deck temp
is actually 110(F). He was very
pale, weak and vomited twice, he
could barely stand and his vital
signs were 113/58, HR 140, core
temp 104.1. After placing him at
rest and applying the blanket,
within 3 minutes he lost 2
degrees and his blood pressure
returned to normal he was no
longer nauseous and was able to
drink fluids. After 15 minutes
his core temp was returned to
normal (98.8), and vital signs
118/76 pulse 72. All of this data
is on record." J.R.
