This meeting will bring together individuals with a long standing interest and expertise in cold injury. The delgates represent a broad spectrum of involvement including search and rescue personnel, clinicians, academic researchers, and emergency room physicians. The expressed purpose of the meeting is to have the group discuss new research and controversies in cold injury; specifically in the areas of Frostbite, Non-freezing Cold Injury, Cold Water Near Drowning, and Hypothermia. A concerted effort will then be made to come to consensus on as many of these issues as possible. A consensus paper will then be published in (italics) Aviation Space and Environmental Medicine.</FONT></P> <P><FONT FACE="palatino"><B>DISCUSSION FORUM</B></FONT></P> <DL> <DT><FONT FACE="palatino">Listed below are several issues that might be discussed during the consensus meeting.
