Bradycardia in a newborn with accidental severe hypothermia: treat or don’t touch? A case report
Scandinavian Journal of Trauma, Resuscitation and Emergency Medicine, 2021 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.

Rewarming for accidental hypothermia in an urban medical center using extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. [PDF]
, 2013 BACKGROUND: Accidental hypothermia complicated by cardiac arrest carries a high mortality rate in urban areas. For moderate hypothermia cases conventional rewarming methods are usually adequate, however in severe cases extracorporeal membrane oxygenation
