acetaminophen and Hypothermia, Accidental

acetaminophen has been researched along with Hypothermia, Accidental in 28 studies

Acetaminophen: Analgesic antipyretic derivative of acetanilide. It has weak anti-inflammatory properties and is used as a common analgesic, but may cause liver, blood cell, and kidney damage.
paracetamol : A member of the class of phenols that is 4-aminophenol in which one of the hydrogens attached to the amino group has been replaced by an acetyl group.

"As an effective antipyretic with a yet-unknown mechanism-of-action, intravenous (IV) acetaminophen use for total hip arthroplasties (THA) may worsen perioperative hypothermia when combined with the known hypothermia-inducing effects of general anesthesia (GA), affecting wound healing, recovery times, and patient satisfaction."7.80Medication safety: does intravenous acetaminophen promote perioperative hypothermia for total hip arthroplasty? ( Annam, SK; Kocz, R; Toufexis, G; Visnjevac, O; Visnjevac, T, 2014)
"There are few reports of acetaminophen overdose in hypothermic patients and even fewer reports describing profound hypothermia."7.79Acetaminophen/diphenhydramine overdose in profound hypothermia. ( Rollstin, AD; Seifert, SA, 2013)

"Pretreatment of mice with phenobarbital, an inducer of oxidative drug metabolism, had no effect on the early hypothermic effect of a toxic dose of acetaminophen, while pretreatment with metyrapone, SKF-525A, or piperonyl butoxide (inhibitors of mixed-function oxidase) enhanced the hypothermia."7.66Acetaminophen-induced hypothermia in mice: evidence for a central action of the parent compound.

"The mode of action of paracetamol (acetaminophen), which is widely used for treating pain and fever, has remained obscure, but may involve several distinct mechanisms, including cyclooxygenase inhibition and transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 (TRPA1) channel activation, the latter being recently associated with paracetamol's propensity to elicit hypothermia at higher doses."3.88The antipyretic effect of paracetamol occurs independent of transient receptor potential ankyrin 1-mediated hypothermia and is associated with prostaglandin inhibition in the brain.
