Abstract

At times, cold can protect life as well as endanger it. There have been extraordinary examples of survival after long periods of submersion in ice cold water. Such cases highlight the differences in the approach to resuscitation that sets the management of people who nearly drown apart from all other circumstances in which cardiopulmonary arrest has occurred.
