Data and methods to calculate cut-off values for serum potassium and core temperature at hospital admission for extracorporeal rewarming of avalanche victims in cardiac arrest. Data in brief Falk, M. n., Brugger, H. n., Bouzat, P. n., Pasquier, M. n., Mair, P. n., Fieler, J. n., Darocha, T. n., Blancher, M. n., de Riedmatten, M. n., Paal, P. n., Strapazzon, G. n., Zafren, K. n., Brodmann Maeder, M. n. 2020; 28: 104913

Abstract

The data and estimation methods presented in this article are associated with the research article, "Cut-off values of serum potassium and core temperature at hospital admission for extracorporeal rewarming of avalanche victims in cardiac arrest: a retrospective multi-centre study" [1]. In this article we estimate recommended cut-off values for in-hospital triage with respect to extracorporeal rewarming. With only 6 survivors of 103 patients collected over a period of 20 years the ability to estimate reliable threshold values is limited. In addition, because the number of avalanche victims is also limited, a significantly larger dataset is unlikely to be obtained. We have therefore adapted two non-parametric estimation methods (bootstrapping and exact binomial distribution) to our specific needs and performed a simulations to confirm validity and reliability.
