External validation of 5A score model for predicting in-hospital mortality among the accidental hypothermia patients: JAAM-Hypothermia study 2018–2019 secondary analysis [PDF]
Journal of Intensive Care, 2022 Background The 5A score including five components “Age, Activities of daily living, Arrest, Acidemia and Albumin” was developed as an easy-to-use screening tool for predicting in-hospital mortality among patients with accidental hypothermia. However, the

Wischnewski spots in a case of accidental hypothermia [PDF]
Clinical Case Reports, 2021 Accidental hypothermia can be fatal, and is often associated with confusion and paradoxical undressing. Wischnewski spots are a classic manifestation of hypothermia at autopsy.

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.

Physiological Changes in Subjects Exposed to Accidental Hypothermia: An Update. [PDF]
Front Med (Lausanne), 2022 Background Accidental hypothermia (AH) is an unintended decrease in body core temperature (BCT) to below 35°C. We present an update on physiological/pathophysiological changes associated with AH and rewarming from hypothermic cardiac arrest (HCA ...

Machine learning-based prediction models for accidental hypothermia patients [PDF]
Journal of Intensive Care, 2021 Background Accidental hypothermia is a critical condition with high risks of fatal arrhythmia, multiple organ failure, and mortality; however, there is no established model to predict the mortality. The present study aimed to develop and validate machine
