Cardiac Arrest Secondary to Accidental Hypothermia: The Physiology Leading to Hypothermic Arrest.
Air Medical Journal 2020 March
Cardiac arrest secondary to accidental hypothermia is rare in the United Kingdom. However, some evidence suggests that it is under-reported; furthermore, recognizing hypothermia as the cause of death is difficult in the postmortem setting. Urban and rural residents are exposed to cold winter conditions both at home and while undertaking recreational activities. Understanding the physiology underpinning hypothermic cardiac arrest is crucial in order to make informed clinical decisions in regard to triage and management by air ambulance services and in prevention of this rare presentation. This article discusses the epidemiology and pathophysiology of accidental hypothermic to explain how personnel can survive after 8 hours 40 minutes of cardiac arrest.
