Severe accidental hypothermia requires tailored rewarming strategies. Aggressive cardiopulmonary bypass rewarming is critical for patients with severe visceral compromise, while less invasive methods may suffice for those with better tolerance.

Area of Science:

  • Emergency Medicine
  • Critical Care Medicine
  • Environmental Health

Background:

  • Severe accidental hypothermia (core temperature < 25°C) presents unique clinical challenges.
  • Urban hypothermia cases highlight the need for accessible emergency protocols.
  • Simultaneous urban hypothermia cases underscore potential environmental risk factors.

Observation:

  • Two patients with severe accidental hypothermia presented with similar demographics and symptoms.
  • Patient 1 exhibited good hypothermia tolerance, evidenced by EEG, echocardiography, and blood gas analysis.
  • Patient 2 demonstrated significant visceral and biological compromise, including severe acidosis and coagulation disorders.

Findings:

  • Non-aggressive rewarming (inhaled gas, IV fluids, lavage) was successful in Patient 1.

  • Aggressive rewarming via cardiopulmonary bypass was employed for Patient 2 due to severe compromise.
  • Patient 1 recovered uneventfully, while Patient 2 succumbed to shock and disseminated intravascular coagulation.

    • Implications:

    • Tailored rewarming strategies are crucial for severe accidental hypothermia.
    • Cardiopulmonary bypass is indicated for hypothermia with cardiac arrest but controversial with a beating heart.
    • Early assessment of hypothermia tolerance guides rewarming method selection and prognosis.
