Conservative management was effective in the treatment of bleeding erosions due to the ingestion of ulcerogenic drugs. Gastric cooling successfully arrested haemorrhage from bleeding erosions due to surgery and sepsis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Background Gastric freezing for chronic peptic ulcer disease is a non-surgical treatment which was popular about 20 years ago but now is seldom performed. [aetna.com]

There are no definitive treatment options for cardiac arrest due to MPE. [ceemjournal.org]

Hypothermia treatment started with electric blankets for surface rewarming and warm gastric lavage for internal rewarming. Hypotension resulted from rewarming and rewarming shock suspected. Fluid loading was performed with no response. [jstage.jst.go.jp]

When faced with catecholamine resistant shock, early diagnosis and treatment can influence the prognosis. Based upon the patient's medical history and developments, acute adrenal insufficiency should initially be suspected and steroids administered. [jstage.jst.go.jp]

What is the prognosis for hypothermia? If the person with mild hypothermia is treated quickly, does not require hospitalization, and has little or no residual problems, the prognosis is usually very good. [medicinenet.com]

Prognosis The prognosis depends on the severity and nature of the cause. Most people tolerate mild hypothermia, which is not associated with significant morbidity or mortality. Overall mortality then increases with the degree of hypothermia. [patient.info]

Goals: The reduction of risk factors is achieved through education of staff, residents and family as to etiology, signs, symptoms and significance of hypothermia. [michigan.gov]

In a cold environment, homeostasis can be overwhelmed, heat production can cease, and the core body temperature can drop after only a few hours secondary to fatigue and glycogen depletion. 5 Etiology The causes of hypothermia are numerous ( Table 1 ), [aafp.org]

Our data show that gastric mucosal petechial hemorrhages are not specific for hypothermia-related deaths, and are likely indicative of a state in which hypothermia and DKA have a common underlying pathophysiology, most likely a coagulopathy. [bioportfolio.com]

Classification is based on 3 factors ... pathophysiology, the rate of heat loss, and the severity of decrease in body temperature. PRIMARY HYPOTHERMIA: Resident has normal thermoregulation, but is subjected to an overwhelmingly cold stressor. [michigan.gov]

Pathophysiology Body heat is lost to the environment via five mechanisms: radiation, conduction, convection, evaporation, and respiration. [aafp.org]

Pathophysiology Hypothermia slows chemical reactions and cellular functions, resulting in a decreased need for oxygen. This can be protective. Astounding recoveries have been made from severe hypothermia. [calsprogram.org]

Pathophysiology Body temperature is normally tightly regulated but is less well-controlled in the very young, and impaired by age, disease, injury and alcohol/drugs. [rcemlearning.co.uk]

To help prevent breakdown, use preventive measures, such as a low-airloss bed and waffle boots. As described earlier, neurologic assessment presents challenges. [americannursetoday.com]

How Can I Prevent Hypothermia? Preventive measures are key to avoiding hypothermia. Clothing The simplest steps you can take involve the clothing you wear. Dress in layers on cold days, even if you don’t think it feels very cold outside. [healthline.com]

Facilities need to take extra measures to prevent wandering, and assess for signs/symptoms of hypothermia if a resident does elope in cold weather. [michigan.gov]

Cannon noted that the venous blood of cats frightened by barking dogs contained adrenaline, a response of the organism which was prevented by adrenalectomy or by section of the splanchnic nerve innervating the adrenal medulla. [books.google.com]
