Rewarming After Severe Accidental Hypothermia
Although accidental hypothermia is considered a totally preventable cause of death, severe hypothermia (<28 o C) carries a mortality rate about 21%. That’s why conventional rewarming techniques such as using a warming blanket, warm intravenous saline, nasogastric lavage, continuous bladder irrigation and thoracic lavage via chest tubes are often considered inefficient and extracorporeal circula...
متن کاملCardiac arrhythmias during rewarming of patients with accidental hypothermia.
Accidental hypothermia has a high mortality and is associated with cardiac arrhythmias. To determine the incidence of arrhythmias and their importance 22 patients with accidental hypothermia (core temperature less than 35 degrees C) were studied by 12 lead electrocardiography and continuous recording of cardiac rhythm. Although 14 of the patients died (64%), only six died while hypothermic. Pro...
متن کاملAccidental hypothermia treated by central rewarming through the airway.
Eleven hypothermic patients were treated by heat supplied via the airway. Three patients died during rewarming, three died of unrelated causes several days after successful rewanning and five survived. Core temperatures were measured by a low reading mercury rectal thermometer and by a thermistor probe inserted into the rectum or midoesophagus. In every patient the core temperature rose without...
متن کاملRewarming from severe accidental hypothermia with circulatory arrest.
This case report demonstrates successful cardiopulmonary and cerebral resuscitation (CPCR) of a young male explored 15 hours following a suicide attempt (carbamazepine intoxication) in deep hypothermia (19 degrees C) with circulatory arrest. An extracorporeal circuit was used to rewarm the patient's blood. Weaning from extracorporeal circulation (ECC) was successful and without complications as...
متن کاملExtracorporeal Rewarming From Accidental Hypothermia of Patient With Suspected Trauma
The use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation is a new approach to rewarming patients with severe hypothermia and hemodynamic instability. There are, however, many questions regarding qualification for this technique in case of suspected or confirmed trauma.A male with confirmed accidental hypothermia (25°C) and after successful cardiopulmonary resuscitation from in-hospital cardiac arrest was...
