For involved medical staff, those conditions may lead to impaired concentration, possibly negatively affecting optimal patient care. Yet, alleviation strategies are lacking. As a novel coping strategy, cooling wear may be an effective means. This explorative study aimed to investigate the effect of high ambient temperatures on the concentration capacity and cooling wear to alleviate thermal stress. The effects of high ambient temperatures and the additional use of cooling wear on the concentration capacity of medical staff were investigated in six subjects during two simulated burn surgeries. Each individual served as his\/her own control undergoing one simulation with and one without cooling wear. Concentration capacity was measured before and after each simulation with a standardized test. The results suggested that high ambient temperatures, as used in burn medicine, negatively affect human concentration capacity. The initial assessment of concentration capacity yielded homogenous values. After heat exposure, subjects wearing cooling wear showed a higher concentration capacity and a lower error rate compared to subjects without cooling wear. Summing up, temperature-related decrements in vigilance and performance among medical personnel may impair the patients\u2019 outcome. As an opportunity to withstand thermal stress and improve medical care and safety, cooling wear showed promising results and may be used as a heat alleviator. Burn medicine may particularly benefit from further development and rigorous investigation of cooling strategies.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jbcr\/irab126","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,6]],"date-time":"2021-07-06T07:24:12Z","timestamp":1625556252000},"page":"698-703","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["The
