Resolution of Strain Abnormalities During Extracorporeal Rewarming From Accidental Hypothermic Cardiac Arrest Following Avalanche Burial

Resolution of Strain Abnormalities During Extracorporeal Rewarming From Accidental Hypothermic Cardiac Arrest Following Avalanche Burial

A hypothermic avalanche victim underwent, during extracorporeal warming from asystolic arrest, 3-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography. At 33°C core temperature, left ventricular ejection fraction had recovered, whereas myocardial strain still demonstrated significant dysfunction until 36°C....
