Abstract/OtherAbstract:
A case report is described with successful outcome of prolonged cardiopulmonary resuscitation in a 30-year-old man suffering from acute deep hypothermia. His lowest temperature recorded was 23 degrees C. Continuous external cardiac massage was required for a total of 4.5 h whilst rewarming was instituted. The patient eventually left hospital with no permanent sequelae. A review of hypothermia follows, emphasising some important management principals and pitfalls.
