A 7-year-old boy survived severe hypothermic cardiac arrest after being lost for 16 hours. Successful resuscitation and complete neurologic recovery were achieved through active rewarming and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).

Area of Science:

  • Emergency Medicine
  • Pediatrics
  • Cardiology

Background:

  • Severe hypothermia poses a critical threat, especially in pediatric cases, often leading to cardiac arrest.
  • Rapid response and effective rewarming strategies are crucial for survival in hypothermic emergencies.

Observation:

  • A 7-year-old boy presented with severe hypothermia (23.3°C) and cardiac arrest after prolonged exposure.
  • Active rewarming combined with cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) was initiated immediately upon emergency department admission.

Findings:

  • Return of spontaneous circulation was achieved within 60 minutes of admission.
  • The patient experienced a fever for 9 days, attributed to frostbite wounds on both feet.
  • Complete neurologic recovery was observed despite the severe initial condition.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the potential for successful resuscitation and full recovery in pediatric severe hypothermic cardiac arrest.
  • It underscores the importance of prompt and aggressive management, including active rewarming and CPR, in such critical scenarios.
  • The case provides valuable insights for emergency medical teams managing pediatric hypothermia cases.
