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.

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.

Background Hypothermia is an uncommon, potentially life-threatening condition. We hypothesized (1) advanced rewarming techniques were more frequent with increased hypothermia severity, (2) active rewarming is increasingly performed with smaller ...

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.

Therapeutic Hypothermia and Temperature Management
Despite growing evidence supporting the efficacy of veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) for accidental hypothermia (AH), few studies have assessed its real-world application. We aimed to describe the use and outcomes of VA-ECMO in

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.

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.
