amiodarone and Hypothermia

amiodarone has been researched along with Hypothermia in 3 studies

Amiodarone: An antianginal and class III antiarrhythmic drug. It increases the duration of ventricular and atrial muscle action by inhibiting POTASSIUM CHANNELS and VOLTAGE-GATED SODIUM CHANNELS. There is a resulting decrease in heart rate and in vascular resistance.
amiodarone : A member of the class of 1-benzofurans that is 1-benzofuran substituted by a butyl group at position 2 and a 4-[2-(diethylamino)ethoxy]-3,5-diiodobenzoyl group at position 3. It is a cardiovascular drug used for the treatment of cardiac dysrhythmias.

Hypothermia: Lower than normal body temperature, especially in warm-blooded animals.

" Here we describe a case of possible postoperative myxedema coma after subacute neck hematoma evacuation after hemithyroidectomy in a patient on concurrent amiodarone therapy."3.91Critical Consideration of Myxedema Coma in the Postoperative Setting: A Case Report. ( Bouvet, M; Ho, G; Kelly, K; Meier, A; Tran, M; Vincent, L, 2019)
"Data from this experimental animal model suggest that vasopressin and amiodarone may not be beneficial for treatment of ventricular fibrillation associated with severe hypothermia when concomitant measures at core rewarming are not applied."3.72Neither vasopressin nor amiodarone improve CPR outcome in an animal model of hypothermic cardiac arrest. ( Girg, S; Lindner, KH; Mair, P; Schwarz, B; Stadlbauer, KH; Wagner-Berger, H; Wenzel, V, 2003)
