Cold Injuries — ER action cards
This chapter covers the ED management of hypothermia, frostbite, and other cold injuries, including staging, stabilization, rewarming techniques, and diagnostic workup. Understanding these critical interventions is vital for board exams.
About these Cold Injuries action cards
These 2 infographics condense Cold Injuries into the decisions examiners expect in the first minutes: recognition, immediate stabilisation, key investigations, first-line drugs with doses, and disposition. They are built for fast revision before emergency medicine board exams such as ABEM, MRCEM, the Saudi Board, the Arab Board and the Egyptian Board.
Use them as a last-minute checklist, then go deeper in the full Cold Injuries topic, which adds an English and Arabic podcast with live captions, a structured summary, a mind map, board-style MCQs with explanations and an interactive case simulation.
Part of the Environmental Injuries chapter on RescueEM. For education and exam preparation only; not a substitute for clinical judgement or local protocols.
