This temperanrre change may cause 'shock' and to prevent this the patient is rvrapped in a 500 W electrically-treated btanket. How long would it take fbr the patient's body temperature to be restored to its initial value? It is founcl in practice that it takes more than the tinte calculated io'r", fbr the patient's body temperature to be restored to its initial value. Account for this difference.
