Introduction: The International Commission for Mountain Emergency Medicine (ICAR MedCom) developed updated recommendations for the management of avalanche victims.
Methods: ICAR MedCom created Population Intervention Comparator Outcome (PICO) questions and conducted a scoping review of the literature. We evaluated and graded the evidence using the American College of Chest Physicians system.

Article Synopsis
- In 1755, an avalanche in Bergemoletto, Italy, trapped four people and several animals for 37 days, resulting in the survival of three individuals who relied on limited nutrition.
- The survivors suffered from severe malnutrition and various medical issues, including weakness, changes in taste, and symptoms resembling post-traumatic stress disorder.
- The aftermath of their rescue involved a slow refeeding process, and it took 1 to 6 weeks for them to regain the ability to walk, highlighting human resilience in extreme conditions.

Introduction: Cardiac arrest (CA) in patients with severe accidental hypothermia (core temperature <28 °C) differs from CA in normothermic patients. Maintaining CPR throughout the prehospital period may be impossible, particularly during difficult evacuations. We have developed guidelines for rescuers who are evacuating and treating severely hypothermic CA patients.
