Pathophysiology of accidental hypothermia [PDF]
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.

ACCIDENTAL PROFOUND HYPOTHERMIA
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.
