Patients presenting with hypothermia should not be warmed too quickly (allowing their temperature to increase by <0.5°C/hour). three shocks with 2 minutes CPR in between) have been performed. There should be an active approach to fever prevention (e.g., °C/hour). ECMO used as CPR is referred to as ECPR.)
