Abstract
Accidental hypothermia has increased in prevalence among the aged poor, probably because of a marked increase in heating costs. Most cases of accidental hypothermia in the past have been reported from either England [UK] or the northern USA. Experience with this disorder in the Tampa (Florida) General Hospital over the past 5 yr is reported. Different manifestations, treatment and complications are reviewed.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
