However, patient is predisposed to hypothermia and insulation is important post log roll. The core body temperature is assessed rectally. The core temperature can be raised in hypothermia by warmed fluid administered into the bodily orifices via IV fluids, rectal, intraperitoneal, intravesical and orogastric. Bair huggers and covering are considered for mild hypothermia.
