Prompt
A Primary data viva — read the three-phase hypothermia curve; explain redistribution, linear decline and plateau; state how prewarming and active warming prevent them.
Stimulus
A temperature-vs-time graph shows the three phases of perioperative hypothermia: redistribution, linear decline and plateau. Label each phase, explain the mechanism, and state how prewarming and forced-air warming prevent them.
