    Accidental hypothermia outcomes were studied in 401 patients. Active core rewarming showed promise, with no deaths above 32.2 C, suggesting improved survival strategies for severe cold exposure.

    Area of Science:

    • Emergency Medicine
    • Environmental Health
    • Critical Care Medicine

    Background:

    • Accidental hypothermia presents a significant clinical challenge with variable outcomes.
    • Effective management strategies for accidental hypothermia are crucial for improving patient survival rates.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the clinical presentation, treatment modalities, and outcomes of accidental hypothermia.
    • To identify factors influencing mortality and rewarming efficacy in hypothermia patients.

    Main Methods:

    • A multicenter survey collected data from 401 accidental hypothermia cases over two years.
    • Core temperatures, rewarming strategies, CPR use, and predisposing conditions were analyzed.
    • Outcomes were compared across different rewarming methods and patient demographics.

    Main Results:

    • Mean core temperature was 30.57 C; 63.6% of cases were below 32.2 C.
    • Active core rewarming had no associated deaths in patients above 32.2 C.
    • Factors like initial temperature, CPR use, and predisposing conditions significantly impacted outcomes.

    Conclusions:

    • Active core rewarming appears to be a highly effective strategy for accidental hypothermia.
    • Refinements to CPR standards and the development of a Hypothermia Survival Index are proposed.
    • Understanding patient profiles and predisposing conditions is vital for managing hypothermia effectively.
