Extracorporeal rewarming and support in severe hypothermia with cardiac arrest: a return from death

01 juli 2021

Abstract Severe hypothermia leads to cardiac instability; however, it also has protective effects due to decreased metabolic activity. Therefore, prolonged resuscitation is advised in hypothermic cardiac arrest. We present a case of severe hypothermia without asphyxia, which is very important prognostically, leading to ventricular fibrillation. Conventional rewarming methods did not…
