Abstract:
Profound hypothermia is defined as a core body temperature of 20.0 °C or less. Successful resuscitation from this degree of hypothermia is rare. We present a case of successful resuscitation in a 2-year-old boy found in cardiac arrest due to profound hypothermia. Invasive techniques such as cavity lavage, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, and cardiopulmonary bypass were not used.
