  • Title: Rewarming by hemodialysis for hypothermia: failure of heparin to prevent DIC.
    Author: Carr ME, Wolfert AI.
    Journal: J Emerg Med; 1988; 6(4):277-80. PubMed ID: 3225430.
    Abstract:
    Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) is an infrequent but known complication of hypothermic injury. Previous work with a dog model had indicated that DIC could be prevented if the animals were treated with heparin prior to rewarming. We report here the case of a young man treated with core rewarming by hemodialysis who developed DIC despite the use of heparin during dialysis.
