title: [Rewarming of humans in deep hypothermia using a short-wave therapy apparatus. Report of 3 cases].
abstract: Three cases of successful "rewarming" of low hypothermic patients (below 30 degrees C = 86 degrees F) with a short-wave therapy apparatus (operating frequency 27.12 MHz) and eddy-current electrodes (Diplode) are described. The patients survived without any visible complications such as afterdrop, ventricular fibrillation or burns. This method is simple and not restricted to special hospitals.
