title: [Case report: severe hypothermia in a newborn infant - challenges in preclinical emergency medicine].
abstract: On the basis of a case report the prehospital management of a newborn child with deep accidental hypothermia (22oC) is discussed. The child was found in a garbage can. The continuous resuscitation during the transport into the clinic is done in an incubator and the child survives without neurologic damages. The used measures of the resuscitation are discussed on the basis of the therapy.
