The diagnosis of hypothermia must be entertained when patients present with unexplained mental status changes or arrhythmias. Prompt recognition and aggressive treatment of complications should reduce cold-related fatalities. The choice of an appropriate rewarming method must be individualized and depends on the severity of hypothermia and the patient's degree of hemodynamic tolerance.
当患者出现不明原因的精神状态改变或心律失常时，必须考虑低温的诊断。对并发症的及时识别和积极治疗应能降低与寒冷相关的死亡率。选择合适的复温方法必须因人而异，这取决于低温的严重程度和患者的血流动力学耐受程度。
