Acid-base disorders
"Afterdrop"
Initial drop in temperature and MAP as rewarming is started due to loss of vasoconstriction/AV shunting colder peripheral tissues
Aspiration pneumonia
Bleeding
Decreased platelet function and inhibition of coagulation cascade
Cold injuries
Dysrhythmias
Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation<unk>  induced coagulopathy
Pancreatitis
Rhabdomyolysis
Thromboembolism
Secondary to hemoconcentration, increased blood viscosity, and poor circulation
Ineffective Drugs
Protein binding increases as body temperature drops, and most drugs become ineffective
Pharmacologic manipulation of the pulse and blood pressure generally should be avoided
Oral meds poorly absorbed because of decreased gastrointestinal motility
Intramuscular route avoided due to poor absorption from vasoconstricted sites
