Resuscitation, 1996
Hypothermia and its management are examined and logical explanations are given for discarding many traditional views. Hypothermia is classified according to physiological changes, and a practical approach is suggested for management.

Accidental hypothermia in a child
Pediatric Anesthesia, 1999SummaryWe report a case of severe accidental hypothermia (24.8°C) in a seven‐year‐old child due to prolonged exposure to low temperatures and temporary contact with river water. When the patient was seen in hospital, bradycardia (30·min−1), bradypnoea (5·min−1), scarcely reacting pupils, and Glasgow Coma Scale=3 were noted.

Few UK emergency departments have a hypothermia protocol. This must change > “Failure to prepare is preparing to fail” (Benjamin Franklin) Rarely, does a British winter go by without a headline such as “Stranded climber dies from hypothermia.” Despite the media focus, only about five cases of severe hypothermia occur each year on British mountains ...

Accidental Hypothermia in the Elderly
JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1978Like many adjustments to environmental stimuli, the adaptation to temperature changes becomes less efficient with advancing age. When exposed to cold, the aged do not increase their heat production as well as do the young. Nor are they able to control as effectively their heat loss by peripheral vasoconstriction.

Accidental hypothermia in the sunbelt
Journal of General Internal Medicine, 1988Hypothermia in colder climates in the United States occurs predominately as a result of exposure of alcoholics to cold outdoor temperatures. Among 24 cases of accidental hypothermia occurring at a university medical center in the deep South, differences in clinical presentation were identified. In contrast to experience in colder climates, 17/22 cases (

PROFOUND ACCIDENTAL HYPOTHERMIA
Journal of the American Medical Association, 1951My associates and I had the unusual opportunity of studying a patient who had been subjected to severe freezing conditions. We believe this case to be unique insofar as the degree of hypothermia was more profound than is ordinarily followed by recovery in the human or in most animals.1The critical level in humans is unknown, but it is commonly ...
