摘要

Abstract

Cold injury refers to local or systemic injury caused by a rapid

massive loss of body heat in a cold environment. The incidence of cold injury is high. However

the current situation regarding the diagnosis and treatment of cold injury in our country is not ideal. To standardize and improve the level of clinical diagnosis and treatment of cold injury in China

it is necessary to make a consensus that is practical and adapted to the conditions in China. We used the latest population-level epidemiological and clinical research data

combined with relevant literature from China and foreign countries. The consensus was developed by a joint committee of multidisciplinary experts. This expert consensus addresses the epidemiology

diagnosis

on-site emergency procedures

in-hospital treatment

and prevention of cold injury.
