Deep frostbite, a severe cold injury, increasingly affects civilians. Promising treatments like intravenous iloprost and thrombolytics aid tissue salvage, but more research is needed.

Area of Science:

  • Emergency Medicine
  • Trauma Surgery
  • Environmental Health

Background:

  • Deep frostbite presents significant morbidity, historically linked to military personnel but now increasingly prevalent in civilians.
  • Effective management strategies are crucial for tissue salvage and reducing long-term complications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide an updated understanding of frostbite pathophysiology, classification, prevention, and management.
  • To highlight the role of telemedicine in improving patient outcomes for frostbite injuries.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current literature on frostbite pathophysiology and treatment modalities.
  • Analysis of emerging therapies including intravenous iloprost and intra-arterial thrombolytics.
  • Discussion on the integration of telemedicine in frostbite care.

Main Results:

  • Intravenous iloprost and intra-arterial thrombolytics show promise for tissue salvage in deep frostbite.
  • Telemedicine can optimize patient outcomes by facilitating timely expert consultation.
  • Current evidence suggests a need for larger, high-quality, multicenter trials to establish optimal management protocols.

Conclusions:

  • Optimal frostbite management requires further investigation through robust clinical trials.
  • An international frostbite register is proposed to facilitate essential data collection and research.
  • Continued research and data sharing are vital for advancing the care of frostbite patients.
