Accidental Hypothermia

Accidental Hypothermia

Advances in rewarming have improved the prognosis for patients with hypothermia, especially those with cardiac arrest treated with extracorporeal rewarming. This review covers prehospital care, transport, resuscitation fluids, and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. Accidental hypothermia (i.e., an...

Zusammenfassung:Advances in rewarming have improved the prognosis for patients with hypothermia, especially those with cardiac arrest treated with extracorporeal rewarming. This review covers prehospital care, transport, resuscitation fluids, and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. Accidental hypothermia (i.e., an involuntary drop in core body temperature to
