Hypothermic Cardiac Arrest – Retrospective cohort study from the International Hypothermia Registry

The International Hypothermia Registry (IHR) was created to increase knowledge of accidental hypothermia, particularly to develop evidence-based guidelines and find reliable outcome predictors. The present study compares hypothermic patients with and without cardiac arrest included in the IHR. Demog...

Description
Summary:The International Hypothermia Registry (IHR) was created to increase knowledge of accidental hypothermia, particularly to develop evidence-based guidelines and find reliable outcome predictors. The present study compares hypothermic patients with and without cardiac arrest included in the IHR. Demographic, pre-hospital and in-hospital data, method of rewarming and outcome data were collected anonymously in the IHR between 2010 and 2020. Two hundred and one non-consecutive cases were included. The major causeof hypothermia was mountain accidents, predominantly in young men. Hypothermic Cardiac Arrest (HCA) occurred in 73 of 201 patients. Core temperature was significantly lower in the patients in cardiac arrest (25.0 vs. 30.0 °C, p
