Just a small add to what has already been mentioned. As a a point of practice, while working in trauma centers (Syracuse and Seattle), when our trauma teams were alerted the trauma SGN would come in and crank the thermostat in the trauma room. We were all sweating buckets as the patients would come in all shivers. Hypothermia was actively combated in our level I trauma patients in order to minimize that portion of "the triad" SS mentioned.
