Longitudinal trends of mean core body temperature (CBT) values (y axis) per hour and within 24 h during different time points of measurements (x axis) for patients from groups A and B. a Linear line plots of mean CBT values along with standard deviations (SDs) in group A (initial septic shock, n = 10). Peak time is around 19.00 during entry/septic shock and exit whereas onset of measurements is between 9.00 and 10.00. b Linear line plots of mean CBT values along with SDs in group B (in-hospital septic shock, n = 6). Similarly, peak time is around 18.00–20.00 during entry, septic shock onset, and exit with the same time onset of recordings as in group A. The value 0 corresponds to midnight
