Abstract

COVID-19 is a life-threatening disease complicated by hyperinflammation followed by multi-organ failure. Although refractory hyperthermia in COVID-19 contributes to an unfavorable prognosis, little is known about effective interventions. We present a case of successful temperature management using an intravascular cooling device in a patient with COVID-19 who developed refractory hyperthermia.

Keywords: coronavirus; hyperpyrexia; temperature control.
