- Abstract
This case report describes a complication caused by cooling pads used for therapeutic hypothermic resuscitation. The authors hope to highlight and emphasize the importance of a thorough evaluation of all skin surfaces that are in direct contact with such cooling pads. Skin injury from the cooling pads used for therapeutic hypothermia should be recognized as a potential complication of treatment.
