Outcome prediction for hypothermic patients in cardiac arrest
Journal of Intensive Care, 2022 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 ...

A novel ECG-biomarker for cardiac arrest during hypothermia
Scandinavian Journal of Trauma, Resuscitation and Emergency Medicine, 2020 Background Treatment of arrhythmias evoked by accidental or therapeutic hypothermia and rewarming remains challenging. We aim to find an ECG-biomarker that can predict ventricular arrhythmias at temperatures occurring in therapeutic and accidental ...

Immersion and accidental hypothermia.
Acta Médica Portuguesa, 1979 The imrnersion or near-drowning syndrome is discussed and found to be closely related with accidental hypothermia. Pathophysiology and clinical picture of both are discussed, and particular emphasis is done to the treatment.
