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

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 ...

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 ...
