Hypothermia Meeting in Krakow
The ICAR Medical Comission meets at the Krakow Hypothermia Centre with the local Experts on Hypothermia.
We listened to interesting presentations and case reports on Hypothermia. Incredibly, there are hundrets of suspected cases of hypothermic CA in Poland per annum! In the Severe Hypothermia Treatment Centre (SHTC) in Krakow the specialists not only know how to treat severe HT and how and when to put their patients on ECMO 24/7 but they also achieved an incredible awareness about Hypothermia among the public and among all rescue personnel.
Visit the centre website on http://www.hipotermia.edu.pl/
Members of ICAR MEDCOM were invited to visit the cold chamber where many exercises, equipment tests and trainings have taken place. The SHTC Team organised a splendid training session for us.
