Her body temperature at this point was 13.7 °C (56.7 °F), [19] [20] [21] the lowest survived body temperature ever recorded in a human with accidental hypothermia at the time, [3] [4] [22] Dr. Mads Gilbert, an anesthesiologist and the chief of the hospital's emergency room, proceeded with the resuscitation attempt.

A medical thermometer showing a temperature reading of 38.7 °C (101.7 °F). Taking a human's temperature is an initial part of a full clinical examination.There are various types of medical thermometers, as well as sites used for measurement, including:
Warm-blooded is a term referring to animal species whose bodies maintain a temperature higher than that of their environment. In particular, homeothermic species (including birds and mammals) maintain a stable body temperature by regulating metabolic processes. Other species have various degrees of thermoregulation.
Targeted temperature management (TTM), previously known as therapeutic hypothermia or protective hypothermia, is an active treatment that tries to achieve and maintain a specific body temperature in a person for a specific duration of time in an effort to improve health outcomes during recovery after a period of stopped blood flow to the brain.

The body plan is very similar to a closely related species, the coachwhip (Masticophis flagellum). They share large forward facing eyes (which allows great vision and depth perception), slender proportions, and a long tapering tail. Both have large scales above the eyes and a braided appearance of the scales at the tail.
Effective temperature, of a body such as a star or planet; Human body temperature; Fever or "having a temperature", the elevation of the body temperature; Noise temperature, a measure of the noise of an electronic component; Temperature (softmax function), a parameter that alters the entropy of the softmax function or Boltzmann distribution
A mesotherm, however, will experience lower body temperatures and lower metabolic rates as ambient temperature drops. [2] In addition, mesotherm body temperatures tend to rise as body size increases (a phenomenon known as gigantothermy [ 3 ] ), unlike endotherms.
Pyrotherapy (artificial fever) is a method of treatment by raising the body temperature or sustaining an elevated body temperature using a fever. In general, the body temperature was maintained at 41 °C (105 °F). [1] Many diseases were treated by this method in the first half of the 20th century.
