Issue with active external rewarming ? Other concerns about external rewarming: – Acidosis – Hypotension Management: ED issues Intubation ? General belief it can induce arythmias ? Danzl, Multicenter Hypothermia Survey, Annals Emerg Med, . – Data from 13 ED – 428 cases – 117 intubation – NO arythmias Management: ED issues Bretylium ? Remended for in hypothermia ? Removed from new ACLS 2022: ? ? availability and limited supply ? ? occurrence of side effects ? Still remend in textbooks (Rosen) ? Remended by US Wilderness Emergency Medical Services Institute ? Based on Dogs studies ? Good for prophylaxis only Management: ED issues Drugs / Shocks ? NO drugs if T? 30?C – Not efficacious – Not metabolised ? If 30?C, ? intervals between doses ?

Include Hypothermia in your ? Dx ? Include T? as a 5th vital sign… ? Call early to anize CPB if available if patient in cardiac arrest ?
