In this episode we discuss the HOPE score, a tool that improves our ability to select the severely hypothermic patients who can benefit from warming with extracorporeal life support (ECLS).
We begin the with the case of Tayyab Jafar, a young man who was successfully resuscitated from severe hypothermia with both cardiopulmonary bypass and ECMO, but not without incident.
We then discuss the derivation and validation studies for the HOPE score.
You can calculate and use the HOPE score at HypothermiaScore.org.
