Decreased Body Temperature

1.1K
A decreased body temperature can occur in patients with hypothermia and frostbite. Heat loss with extended cold exposure overpowers the body's ability to create heat, resulting in hypothermia. Core temperature readings help classify hypothermia. Mild hypothermia is temperatures between 32 °C (89.6 °F) and 35°C (95 °F) and is caused by impaired thermoregulation. Moderate hypothermia is temperatures between 28 C (82.4 °F) and 32 °C (89.6 °F) caused by...

Methods of reducing fever

1.5K
The signs and symptoms of fever include hot and dry skin, flushed face, thirst, muscle aches, anorexia, headache, tachycardia, tachypnea, and fatigue. Elevated body temperature is reduced using two methods: pharmacological and nonpharmacological. Proper identification and treatment of the root cause of a fever is of utmost importance.

Summary

Aggressive resuscitation and rewarming are crucial for neonates with severe hypothermia. Continuing these measures until rewarming is achieved can lead to excellent neurological outcomes, even in extreme cases.

Area of Science:

  • Neonatalogy
  • Pediatric Critical Care
  • Emergency Medicine

Background:

  • Severe accidental hypothermia in neonates presents unique challenges.
  • Current guidelines emphasize cardiopulmonary resuscitation but offer limited detail on rewarming strategies.
  • Therapeutic hypothermia rewarming protocols may not directly apply to accidental hypothermia cases.

Observation:

  • A case of a severely hypothermic newborn (27.9°C) who was abandoned but survived.
  • Aggressive resuscitation and active core rewarming were initiated upon presentation.
  • The infant achieved an excellent neurological outcome at two years of age.

Findings:

  • Prolonged resuscitation and aggressive rewarming are advocated for neonates with severe hypothermia (core temperature <32.0°C).

  • Active core rewarming methods include warm saline lavages, intravenous fluids, and warm air, with recommended rates of 1.8°C/h to 5.3°C/h.
  • Continuing resuscitative measures until the infant is fully rewarmed is recommended, regardless of initial response.

    • Implications:

    • This case highlights the importance of aggressive rewarming in neonatal accidental hypothermia.
    • It suggests that current rewarming guidelines may need refinement for accidental exposures.
    • Reinforces the need to sustain resuscitation efforts until complete rewarming is achieved for optimal neurological outcomes.
