Résumé

Abstract Hemodynamically unstable patients with severe hypothermia and preserved circulation should be transported to dedicated extracorporeal life support (ECLS) centers, but not all are eligible for extracorporeal therapy. In this group of patients, the outcome of rewarming may sometimes be unfavorable. It is, therefore, crucial to identify potential risk factors for death. Furthermore, it is unclear what criterion for hemodynamic stability should be adopted for patients with severe hypothermia. The aim of this study is to identify pre-rewarming predictors of death and their threshold values in hypothermic patients with core temperature ≤ 28 °C and preserved circulation, who were treated without extracorporeal rewarming. We conducted a multicenter retrospective study involving patients in accidental hypothermia with core temperature 28 °C or lower, and preserved spontaneous circulation on rewarming initiation. The data were collected from the International Hypothermia Registry, HELP Registry, and additional hospital data. The primary outcome was survival to hospital discharge. We conducted a multivariable logistic regression and receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) analysis. In the multivariate analysis of laboratory tests and vital signs, systolic blood pressure (SBP) adjusted for cooling circumstances and base excess (BE) were identified as the best predictor of death (OR 0.974 95% CI 0.952–0.996), AUC ROC 0.79 (0.70–0.88). The clinically relevant cutoff for SBP was identified at 90 mmHg with a sensitivity of 0.74 (0.54–0.89) and a specificity of 0.70 (0.60–0.79). The increased risk of death among hypothermic patients with preserved circulation occurs among those with an SBP below 90 mmHg and in those who developed hypothermia in their homes.
