Intraoperative accidental hypothermia as a probable cause of malignant ventricular arrhythmias in an elderly patient undergoing transurethral resection of prostate: A case report [PDF]
Heliyon, 2023 Background: Intraoperative hypothermia is a common but severe condition that is defined as a core body temperature below 36 °C. Accidental hypothermia can produce coagulopathy, immunosuppression and peripheral hypoperfusion that can ultimately lead to ...

Accidental Hypothermia: 2021 Update. [PDF]
Int J Environ Res Public Health, 2022 Accidental hypothermia is an unintentional drop of core temperature below 35 °C. Annually, thousands die of primary hypothermia and an unknown number die of secondary hypothermia worldwide. Hypothermia can be expected in emergency patients in the prehospital phase. Injured and intoxicated patients cool quickly even in subtropical regions.

Accidental hypothermia: direct evidence for consciousness as a marker of cardiac arrest risk in the acute assessment of cold patients [PDF]
Scandinavian Journal of Trauma, Resuscitation and Emergency Medicine, 2022 Background Rapid stratification of the risk of cardiac arrest is essential in the assessment of patients with isolated accidental hypothermia. Traditional methods based on measurement of core temperature are unreliable in the field.
