Some authors recommend not starting chest compressions in hypothermia unless there is no organized cardiac activity (e.g., 2 In reality you may start compressions before you confirm that hypothermia was the primary cause of cardiac arrest. Obtaining a core temperature early in any arrest suspected to be from hypothermia is key.

Naloxone administration may reverse respiratory arrest, preventing progression to cardiac arrest. Standard advanced life support with the addition of administration of sodium bicarbonate is appropriate for the treatment of life-threatening dysrhythmias caused by cocaine or other sodium channel blockers.

Excessive IV fluid administration should be avoided due to the risk of acidosis, coagulopathy and electrolyte disturbance – all of which evidence shows significantly increased mortality. In the bleeding trauma patient, fluid resuscitation aims to avoid the diamond of death (acidosis, coagulopathy, hypothermia and hypocalcaemia).

For patients with OHCA, use of steroids during CPR is of uncertain benefit. Routine administration of calcium for treatment of cardiac arrest is not recommended. Patients with spontaneous hypothermia after ROSC unresponsive to verbal commands should not routinely be actively or passively rewarmed faster than 0.5° C per hour.

Optimally, bystander CPR, including the administration of rescue breaths, should be initiated prior to arrival of emergency medical services. Oxygen administration, with or without ventilatory support, is the mainstay of treatment. Fluid resuscitation will likely be warranted, and with crystalloid solution is most appropriate.
