    Rewarming profoundly hypothermic patients using partial bypass improved survival rates in two out of three cases. This method offers a promising approach for managing severe hypothermia, often yielding better outcomes than initially expected.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Emergency Medicine
    • Critical Care Medicine

    Background:

    • Profound hypothermia presents significant resuscitation challenges.
    • Traditional rewarming methods may have limitations in severe cases.

    Observation:

    • Three patients with profound hypothermia were treated with rewarming on partial cardiopulmonary bypass.
    • Two patients survived with normal mental and metabolic functions.

    Findings:

    • Partial bypass rewarming is an effective method for managing profound hypothermia.
    • Gentle handling, oxygenation, pH normalization, and close monitoring of blood gases, potassium, and hydration are crucial.
    • Ventricular fibrillation is a compelling indication for bypass rewarming.

    Implications:

    • Rewarming with a pump oxygenator and heat exchanger is readily achievable.
    • This technique may improve tissue salvage in cases with frozen extremities.
    • Patients not responding to external rewarming may benefit from bypass rewarming to reduce the risk of ventricular fibrillation.
