We report a case of severe accidental hypothermia (24.8 degrees C) in a seven-year-old child due to prolonged exposure to low temperatures and temporary contact with river water. When the patient was seen in hospital, bradycardia (30.min-1), bradypnoea (5. min-1), scarcely reacting pupils, and Glasgow Coma Scale=3 were noted. For rewarming minimally invasive techniques (humidified warmed gases and intravenous solutions at 40 degrees C) were employed with a very successful outcome.
