Facts and Fiction: The Impact of Hypothermia on Molecular Mechanisms following Major Challenge
Mediators of Inflammation, 2012 Numerous multiple trauma and surgical patients suffer from accidental hypothermia. While induced hypothermia is commonly used in elective cardiac surgery due to its protective effects, accidental hypothermia is associated with increased posttraumatic ...

Maternal hypothermia from environmental exposure in the third trimester
International Journal of Circumpolar Health, 2020 A primigravida at 32 weeks gestation developed hypothermia after prolonged exposure to the elements at -30.0°C. Her core temperature dropped to 29.8°C with associated foetal bradycardia.

Factors contributing to acute accidental hypothermia (literature review)
Медицина неотложных состояний, 2022 Risk factors for hypothermia include conditions that reduce thermogenesis, disrupt thermoregulation, and increase heat loss. The main groups of risk factors for hypothermia are: low ambient temperature; periodically repeated exposition to cold; reduction

The Role of Accidental and Therapeutic Hypothermia in Non-Fatal Drowning
European Journal of Case Reports in Internal Medicine, 2015 A case of non-fatal drowning with a successful outcome despite a submersion time of 25 min is described. Our case report emphasizes the role of accidental hypothermia in the survival of drowning victims with hypoxic brain injury, and supports the use of ...
