Resuscitation of Accidental Hypothermia Victims.

Abstract

This paper outlines the physiology of hypothermia and describes the major decision making points in the resuscitation procedure and attempts to define the approach to returning these patients to a normal physiologic state and temperature. Special reference is given to utilization of internal methods of rewarming, in particular, warm peritoneal dialysis and its effect on hypothermic patients. (Author)
