  1. Cooling Blankets

    The Frog replied to kesmith2314's topic in MICU, SICU
    Hey guys. I'm a new comer here on allnurses.com. So, I had a patient once with a temp of 106. I place a cooling blanket. His temp decreased to 103 by day shift. During report the day shift nurse felt it was not a good idea to cool a patient with a blanket. The logic that she gave me was that our Infectious Disease Docs do not like them because the cold acutally shunts the blood to the core thereby actually increasing the temp to the core and upping the chances of brain damage. Side note: the patient did not have an Infectious Disease consult yet, so I went off another MDs order. This make any sense to any body or is that a ridiculous point?
