Abstract

Deep accidental hypothermia is a very rare emergency, most of these patients die despite of immediate and adaequate therapy. We report on a hypothermic patient who was in a stable hemodynamic condition and breathing spontaneously at a temperature of 25.5°C. He was rewarmed with non-invasive methods. We describe and discuss the hemodynamic variables of an advanced monitoring during the time of external rewarming.
