Intraoperative accidental hypothermia as a probable cause of malignant ventricular arrhythmias in an elderly patient undergoing transurethral resection of prostate: A case report. [PDF]
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 ...

Accidental hypothermia: direct evidence for consciousness as a marker of cardiac arrest risk in the acute assessment of cold patients. [PDF]
Background Rapid stratification of the risk of cardiac arrest is essential in the assessment of patients with isolated accidental hypothermia. Traditional methods based on measurement of core temperature are unreliable in the field.

Factors related to 30-day survival rate following accidental hypothermia - a retrospective single-center study from Northern Finland. [PDF]
Background Accidental hypothermia is a rare condition, and it is reported to cause 2–5 deaths per 100,000 in European studies and at least 1,500 deaths in the United States annually.

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

Outcome prediction for hypothermic patients in cardiac arrest
The 5A score predicts in-hospital mortality of patients suffering from accidental hypothermia, including those not in cardiac arrest. The HOPE score was specifically developed to predict survival for the subgroup of hypothermic patients in cardiac ...

Bradycardia in a newborn with accidental severe hypothermia: treat or don’t touch? A case report
Background Hypothermia significantly affects mortality and morbidity of newborns. Literature about severe accidental hypothermia in neonates is limited. We report a case of a neonate suffering from severe accidental hypothermia.
