Severe accidental hypothermia: rewarming with CVVHD. 1996

Department of Internal Medicine, Red Cross Hospital, Beverwijk, The Netherlands.

We describe 2 case reports dealing with accidental hypothermia in which continuous veno-venous haemofiltration and dialysis (CVVHD) in combination with hyperinfusion with heated crystalloids was used as a rewarming technique. In this way it also is possible to correct metabolic disturbances, even during cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
