Abstract
Summary
The distribution of terminal temperatures following induced hypothermia in dogs was statistically analyzed for evidence of inhomogeneity. It was found that the data from over 100 animals could be adequately expressed by a log-normal distribution without any evidence of heterogeneity. This suggests that the different terminal events (i.e. fibrillation vs. asystole) which occur under induced hypothermia are determined by the terminal temperatures rather than vice versa.
