Deep accidental hypothermia accompanied with cardiac arrest after alcohol and drug poisoning treated with extracorporeal life support

Respiratory Medicine Case Reports, 2018
Deep accidental hypothermia is an unusual clinical entity in developed countries. We report a case of a 30 year old male Caucasian patient with accidental severe hypothermia who was transferred to the emergency department of our hospital after prolonged ...

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.

Successful resuscitation for cardiac arrest due to severe accidental hypothermia accompanied by mandibular rigidity: a case of cold stiffening mimicking rigor mortis

International Journal of Emergency Medicine, 2018
Background In cases of severe accidental hypothermia, it was recommended that resuscitation should be continued until the patient has rewarmed, as hypothermia itself can preserve cerebral function, and hypothermic cardiac arrest is reversible.

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 ...

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

Can hypothermia-induced changes in QRS and QT(c) intervals predict cardiac arrest? [PDF]

BMC Res Notes
Hypothermic cardiac arrest (HCA) is often caused by ventricular tachyarrhythmias in severe hypothermia. The QRS/QTc ratio may predict arrhythmia risk, but data are insufficient.

Hold on to your units: Quality of red cell concentrates is only affected after multiple transient warming events

Transfusion, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Cryopreserved red cell concentrates (RCCs) glycerolized using a high glycerol (40%) method can be stored below −65°C for up to 30 years; however, units may be inadvertently warmed above −65°C due to freezer failures, human errors, or routine inventory management.
