Abstract:

This paper outlines the physiology of hypothermia and describes the major decision making points in the resuscitation procedure and attempts to define the approach to returning these patients to a normal physiologic state and temperature. Special reference is given to utilization of internal methods of rewarming, in particular, warm peritoneal dialysis and its effect on hypothermic patients. Author
