Hypothermic patients aren't dead until they are warm and dead.

When a patient’s core body temperature drops below 96.8° F (36° C), they are hypothermic.

As the body’s temperature drops below 36° C, hypothermia may further be classified as moderate or severe.

Modifying the ACLS Adult Cardiac Arrest algorithm for patients with severe hypothermia.

Following the ACLS algorithm for patients with a body core temperature above 30° C.

Methods for rewarming patients with moderate vs severe hypothermia.

Continuation of CPR and ACLS efforts until the patient’s body core temp is above 36° C.
