Severe hypothermia (core body temperature < 28°C) is life-threatening and predisposes to cardiac arrest. The comparative effectiveness of different active internal rewarming methods in an urban U.S. population is unknown. We aim to compare outcomes between hypothermic emergency department (ED) patients rewarmed conventionally using an intravascular rewarming catheter or warm fluid lavage versus those rewarmed using extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO).

体外膜肺氧合与常规复温治疗城市急诊室严重低体温的比较

严重体温过低（核心体温 < 28°C）会危及生命，并容易导致心脏骤停。不同主动体内复温方法在美国城市人口中的比较效果尚不清楚。我们的目的是比较使用血管内复温导管或温水灌洗常规复温的低温急诊科 (ED) 患者与使用体外膜氧合 (ECMO) 复温的患者之间的结果。
