How much does trying to normalize the temperature, to avoid slowing of conduction velocity and dista latencies, have an inpact on patient care? I do not think that cool (not extreme) skin temperature will create the characteristic abnormalities noted by demyelinating polyneuropathies with quite prolonged temporal dispersion and significant slowing of velocities. Trying to warm up extremities cause delay and dyscomfort on patients given the extra time spent on performing the studies. Has there been a study that address this issue?
