Delayed and intermittent CPR for severe accidental hypothermia Cardiac arrest (CA) in patients with severe accidental hypothermia (core temperature <28Β°C) differs from CA in normothermic patients. Maintaining CPR throughout the prehospital period may be impossible, particularly during difficult evacuations. We have developed guidelines for rescuers who are evacuating and treating severely hypothermic CA patients.

Physician compensation in U.S. among lowest for western nations A recent study by Alpharetta, Ga.-based staffing company Jackson Healthcare found that U.S. physician compensation is among the lowest of western nations.
