Asphyxia (drowning, avalanche burial)

Unwitnessed cardiac arrest

Asystole

Hyperkalemia

Elevated serum lactate

Hemodynamic instability

Age >75 years

Kidney injury (elevated creatinine)

While evidence is limited, the factors listed above are associated with worse outcomes following hypothermia due to environmental exposure.

* Evidence about accidental hypothermia is limited. These factors are drawn primarily from retrospective, observational studies. They are not necessarily independent risk factors. There are many potential confounders.
