Article Synopsis
- Lightweight polyester shelters are commonly used in mountain rescue, but little is known about the stress experienced by rescuers while using them.
- A study with 48 seasoned rescuers assessed both objective (temperature, humidity, gas concentrations) and subjective stress factors (comfort, noise, air quality) during CPR training in these shelters.
- The findings indicate that the shelters significantly improved physical comfort and most rescuers reported positive working conditions despite rising temperatures and carbon dioxide levels during the process.

Background: Accidental hypothermia is associated with increased morbidity and mortality and poses a significant challenge for both professional and volunteer rescue services in prehospital settings. This study investigated the methods and equipment available to treat patients with cold stress or accidental hypothermia before reaching hospital in Norway.
Methods: We surveyed 156 respondents representing 708 units from both the professional and volunteer Norwegian prehospital chain of care between 2023 and 2024.

Outcomes of extracorporeal life support in hypothermic cardiac arrest: Revisiting ELSO guidelines.
Resuscitation
December 2024
Department of Emergency Medicine, Jan Kochanowski University, Kielce, Poland.
Aim Of The Study: Predictive factors for poor outcomes in hypothermic cardiac arrest (HCA) differ from those in normothermic out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). This study aimed to evaluate the outcomes of extracorporeal life support (ECLS) in HCA patients who may not be considered eligible based on the guidelines set by the Extracorporeal Life Support Organization (ELSO).
Methods: A retrospective multicentre study included 127 HCA patients, divided into two groups: those meeting the ELSO eligibility criteria for ECLS, and those with at least one of the following ELSO exclusion criteria: age over 70 years, unwitnessed cardiac arrest, or asystole.
