Effect of hypothermia on haemostasis and bleeding risk: a narrative review
Journal of International Medical Research, 2019 It must be remembered that clinically important haemostasis occurs in vivo and not in a tube, and that variables such as the number of bleeding events and bleeding volume are more robust measures of bleeding risk than the results of analyses.

Pathophysiology of accidental hypothermia [PDF]
QJM, 2002 Accidental hypothermia is an uncommon problem that affects people of all ages, but particularly the elderly. This review briefly outlines the aetiological factors that may predispose to hypothermia, with particular reference to the effects of sepsis, although the specific situation of cold-water immersion is not addressed.

Can hypothermia-induced changes in QRS and QT(c) intervals predict cardiac arrest?
BMC Research NotesHypothermic cardiac arrest (HCA) is often caused by ventricular tachyarrhythmias in severe hypothermia. The QRS/QTc ratio may predict arrhythmia risk, but data are insufficient.

Induced Hypothermia Does Not Harm Hemodynamics after Polytrauma: A Porcine Model
Mediators of Inflammation, 2015 Background. The deterioration of hemodynamics instantly endangers the patients’ life after polytrauma. As accidental hypothermia frequently occurs in polytrauma, therapeutic hypothermia still displays an ambivalent role as the impact on the ...

History of accidental hypothermia
Resuscitation, 2011 Death from exposure to cold has been recognised for thousands of years but hypothermia as a clinical condition was not generally recognised until the mid-20th century and then only in extreme conditions such as immersion in cold water or snow. In the UK, hypothermia in less extreme conditions was not generally recognised until the 1960s. Recognition of

ACCIDENTAL PROFOUND HYPOTHERMIA
British Journal of Anaesthesia, 1970 SUMMARY A 3-year-old boy who had been exposed for at least 15 hours in an air temperature of approximately 0°C, was found to have a rectal temperature of 17°C about 20 minutes after he arrived at the hospital. He was rewarmed to 34°C in a bath of water at a temperature of 37–38°C during a period of 2 hours 15 minutes.

Patient in hypothermia - diagnostic and treatment problems in fire department
Critical Care Innovations, 2018 Accidental hypothermia occurs when, as a result of environmental factors, the central body temperature drops below 35° C. Deep hypothermia is a life-threatening condition, but it is one of the reversible causes of cardiac arrest.
