About this Issue: Infants, children, and adolescents are at higher risk for primary cold injuries due to a combination of physiologic and cognitive factors. This issue describes the workup and management of hypothermia, frostbite, and frostnip in pediatric patients. It provides guidance for prompt diagnosis, management strategies for stabilization, and recommendations for transfer when necessary. You will learn: •  Why pediatric patients are more susceptible to cold injuries •  How to determine the severity of hypothermia, based on the patient’s core body temperature and associated clinical ?ndings •  What types of thermometers are appropriate for use in patients with hypothermia, as well as temperature measurement strategies •  When CPR should be initiated, and when it is appropriate to stop resuscitation efforts •  When diagnostic studies are warranted, and which studies should be ordered for patients at different stages of hypothermia •  Types of rewarming techniques, including passive and active rewarming methods •  How to manage patients with mild, moderate, or severe hypothermia, as well as those with frostnip or frostbite •  Indications and evidence for the use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation Create PDF in your applications with the Pdfcrowd HTML to PDF API PDFCROW
