Critical Care Clinics, 1999
Individuals at extremes of age and those who have certain underlying medical conditions are at greatest risk for hypothermia. Hypothermia may occur during any season of the year and in any climate. Prompt recognition of hypothermia and early institution of the rewarming techniques are imperative for a successful outcome with minimal complications ...

Accidental hypothermia causes profound changes to the body's physiology. After an initial burst of agitation (e.g., 36-37°C), vital functions will slow down with further cooling, until they vanish (e.g.

Severe accidental hypothermia [PDF]
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 ...

The management of accidental hypothermia
BMJ, 2009A 24 year old male surfer presented to the emergency department unconscious. Lifeguards had spotted him drifting out to sea on his surfboard. Upon return to the beach he was confused, unable to walk in a straight line, and shivering violently. He subsequently collapsed and paramedics were called.

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.

Treatment of Accidental Hypothermia
Scandinavian Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 1967A case of severe, chronic hypothermia (body-temperature 21.4°C) was successfully treated by means of extracorporeal circulation containing heat-exchanger and oxygenator. Thoracotomy was avoided. As far as we know, this is the first patient to survive such a low temperature without any residual disability.
