Machine learning-based prediction models for accidental hypothermia patients [PDF]
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

J‐wave change during rewarming therapy for accidental hypothermia [PDF]
Background J waves are abnormal electrocardiogram findings that indicate an elevation at the junction between the QRS complex and the ST segment. Hypothermia is associated with fetal arrhythmia, along with the increase of J‐wave manifestation.

Physiological Changes in Subjects Exposed to Accidental Hypothermia: An Update. [PDF]
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 ...
