Deep Accidental Hypothermia with Core Temperature Below 24°C Presenting with Vital Signs

Abstract: Vital signs can be present in hypothermic patients with core temperature <24°C. In deeply hypothermic patients, a careful check and prolonged check of vital functions should be made, as vital signs may be minimal. The clinical Swiss staging remains valuable in the prehospital evaluation of hypothermic patients; its correlation with core temperature should be better defined.

“…However, the disadvantage of descriptive staging is that the level of consciousness varies widely among patients at a given T core and therefore it is difficult to recognize the temperature thresholds for risk of cardiac arrhythmias or cardiac arrest (Vanden Hoek, 2010;Brown et al, 2012). Also, vital signs can be present in hypothermic patients despite T core < 24°C (Pasquier et al, 2014). Moreover, hypothermia is often complicated by associated injuries or illnesses such as traumatic brain injury or intoxication (Danzl and Pozos, 1994).…”

“…Существует определен-ный принцип, определяющий тактику интенсивной терапии у пациентов с тяжелым общим переохлаж-дением: «Никто не может считаться мертвым, пока не будет согрет и не умер» [2]. Согласно данным ми-ровой клинической практики, максимально низкая Тсо, при которой были достигнуты успех сердечно-легочной реанимации и полное неврологическое восстановление пациента, составила 13,7 °С [3].…”
