Use of Continuous Venovenous Haemodialysis to Reverse Acute Hypothermia After Multiple Trauma

Use of Continuous Venovenous Haemodialysis to Reverse Acute Hypothermia After Multiple Trauma

Hypothermia is an independent risk factor for mortality in trauma patients. We describe the use of continuous venovenous haemodialysis (CVVHD) as a rewarming method in a hypothermic, multiply injured patient. CVVHD achieved rapid rewarming and holds advantages over established rewarming methods in t...
