Knowledge, attitude, and practice toward hypothermia in severe trauma patients among healthcare professionals in emergency departments and trauma centers in Shanghai: a cross-sectional study
Medical staff in Shanghai's emergency and trauma centers generally exhibit positive attitudes toward hypothermia management in severe trauma patients, but significant gaps remain in knowledge and practical application. These deficiencies suggest an urgent need for targeted educational interventions, incorporating evidence-based training, hands-on clinical experiences, and interdisciplinary collaboration to improve knowledge, practice, and patient outcomes.
