“…Fluid shift to the head occurs in the HDT position, and the intracranial pressure and carotid blood flow are also reported to increase (20,21). This fluid shift might affect the tympanic membrane temperature in the HDT position.…”
During lower abdominal surgery the head-down tilt position does not augment core hypothermia in spite of suppressed peripheral vasoconstriction, and the renin-angiotensin system may be of importance for thermoregulation.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
