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.

A novel ECG-biomarker for cardiac arrest during hypothermia [PDF]
Scandinavian Journal of Trauma, Resuscitation and Emergency Medicine, 2020 Background Treatment of arrhythmias evoked by accidental or therapeutic hypothermia and rewarming remains challenging. We aim to find an ECG-biomarker that can predict ventricular arrhythmias at temperatures occurring in therapeutic and accidental ...
