The article presents a case report of a patient who was originally diagnosed and treated for immersion, but was later diagnosed for accidental acute hypothermia. The patient who was an 18-month old girl fell through an ice-covered ditch into some 15 cm of water. The victim, who had water in her mouth when found, was without apparent aspiration because of the diving reflex. Findings show that hypothermia in a child occurs rapidly because of its large body surface in relation to body mass. |
