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

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.
