Thyroid function in accidental hypothermia.
نویسنده
چکیده
THE clinical state of patients with accidental hypothermia may closely resemble that of severely hypothyroid patients. Moreover laboratory investigations fail to differentiate the two states with certainty. Six cases of hypothermia are described in this paper; the serum carotene and cholesterol levels have been estimated in the hope of establishing a precise diagnosis, and their values and that of the electrocardiogram are considered.

متن کاملRelevance of induced and accidental hypothermia after trauma-haemorrhage–what do we know from experimental models in pigs?
Recent experimental research has either focused on the role of accidental hypothermia as part of the lethal triad after trauma or tried to elucidate the effects of therapeutically induced hypothermia on the posttraumatic course. Induced hypothermia seems to reduce the mortality in experimental models of trauma-haemorrhage. As potential mechanisms, a decrease of cellular metabolism, beneficial e...

Hypothermia, defined as an unintentional decline in the core body temperature to below 35℃, is a life-threatening condition. Patients with malnutrition and diabetes mellitus as well as those of advanced age are at high risk for accidental hypothermia. Due to the high mortality rates of accidental hypothermia, proper management is critical for the wellbeing of patients. Accidental hypothermia wa...
متن کاملNew diastolic cardiomyopathy in patients with severe accidental hypothermia after ECMO rewarming: a case-series observational study
INTRODUCTION Accidental hypothermia is a condition associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Hypothermia has been reported to affect left ventricular systolic and diastolic function. However, most of the data come from animal experimental studies. AIM OF THE STUDY The purpose of the present study was to assess the impact of severe accidental hypothermia on systolic and diastolic ve...
متن کاملAltered pharmacological effects of adrenergic agonists during hypothermia
Rewarming from accidental hypothermia is often complicated by hypothermia-induced cardiac dysfunction, calling for immediate pharmacologic intervention. Studies show that although cardiac pharmacologic support is applied when rewarming these patients, a lack of updated treatment recommendations exist. Mainly due to lack of clinical and experimental data, neither of the international guidelines ...
