Abstract: Background: Severe accidental hypothermia (AH) accounts for over 1300 deaths/year in the United States. Early extracorporeal life support (ECLS) is recommended for hypothermic cardiac arrest. We describe the use of a rapid-deployment extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s13049-017-0388-7
Abstract: BackgroundRecently, veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) has become the rewarming treatment of choice in hypothermic cardiac arrest. The detailed indications for extracorporeal rewarming in non-arrested, severely hypothermic patients with circulatory instability have not been established… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s40560-019-0384-2
Abstract: BackgroundAccidental hypothermia is a serious condition that requires immediate and accurate assessment to determine severity and treatment. Currently, accidental hypothermia is evaluated using the Swiss grading system which uses core body temperature and clinical findings;… read more here.
