Normothermia must be established in drowning victims before death may be declared, as the myocardium may remain resistant to stimulation at subnormal temperatures, and complete neurological recovery from submersion associated hypothermia has been reported. A safe and effective method of external re-warming is described that may prove particularly useful in the paediatric population.
在宣布溺水受害者死亡之前，必须使其体温恢复正常，因为在体温低于正常时，心肌可能仍对刺激有反应，而且已有报告称与浸没相关的低温症患者可实现完全神经功能恢复。本文描述了一种安全有效的外部复温方法，该方法可能对儿科人群特别有用。
