Hypothermia
Hypothermia is defined as a body core temperature below 35.0 °C (95.0 °F). Symptoms depend on the temperature. In mild hypothermia there is shivering and mental confusion. In moderate hypothermia shivering stops and confusion increases. In severe hypothermia there may be paradoxical undressing, where a person removes their clothing, as well as an increased risk of the heart stopping.
Hypothermia has two main types of causes. It classically occurs from extreme exposure to cold. It may also occur from any condition that decreases heat production or increases heat loss. Commonly this includes alcohol intoxication but may also include low blood sugar, anorexia, and advanced age, among others.Body temperature is usually maintained near a constant level of 36.5–37.5 °C (97.7–99.5 °F) through thermoregulation. Efforts to increase body temperature involve shivering, increased voluntary activity, and putting on warmer clothing. Hypothermia may be diagnosed based on either a person's symptoms in the presence of risk factors or by measuring a person's core temperature.

Hypothermia (film)
Hypothermia is a 2010 American horror film written and directed by James Felix McKenney. It stars Michael Rooker, Blanche Baker, Greg Finley, Don Wood and Amy Chang.
Plot
On an icy lake, Ray Pelletier scouts out a good ice fishing spot for his family. He spots something bloody on the ice near a hole, walks toward it and falls through when the ice breaks. Back at the cabin, his wife Helen, son David and his son's girlfriend Gina are waiting for him. Ray has been struggling for hours to get out of the hole. Helen asks David and Gina what their plans are after college, and they mention that they will be joining the Peace Corps and going to Uganda following graduation.
Meanwhile, something in the water watches Ray as he struggles. He finally gets out of the water as his family goes out searching for him. The creature follows David as he walks on the ice. David finds Ray passed out from exhaustion. They return to the cabin, where Gina examines him. Ray assures everyone he is fine. The creature watches the family from a window.

What Hypothermia Does To Your Body And Brain
Hypothermia: it’s something you see all too often in movies starring Leonardo DiCaprio. But what is it, exactly? And how does it really happen? Our body is always trying to maintain a balmy temperature of around 98.6℉ or 37°C. Hypothermia occurs when our body loses heat faster than we can produce it. And hypothermia doesn’t only strike sinking-ship victims and 19 th-century fur-trappers wandering in the wilderness. Studies estimate about 1,500 Americans die of accidental hypothermia each year. In fact, exposure to cold is responsible for twice as many deaths as heat exposure annually. Young children and the elderly are especially vulnerable. So, why is hypothermia so dangerous? Most heat loss occurs when unprotected surfaces radiate heat away from the body. In addition, wearing wet clot...

Hypothermia: it’s something you see all too often in movies starring Leonardo DiCaprio. But what is it, exactly? And how does it really happen?
Our body is always trying to maintain a balmy temperature of around 98.6℉ or 37°C. Hypothermia occurs when our body loses heat faster than we can produce it. And hypothermia doesn’t only strike sinking-ship victims and 19 th-century fur-trappers wandering in the wilderness.
Studies estimate about 1,500 Americans die of accidental hypothermia each year. In fact, exposure to cold is responsible for twice as many deaths as heat exposure annually. Young children and the elderly are especially vulnerable. So, why is hypothermia so dangerous?
Most heat loss occurs when unprotected surfaces radiate heat away from the body. In addition, wearing wet clothes makes heat loss even worse. And wind chill can quickly escalate the situation because it strips away the thin layer of heat on the skin’s surface. As your temperature drops, your body and brain fire back.
Your thyroid and adrenal glands release a flood of hormones that boost your metabolism, heart rate, and blood pressure. In the brain, the hypothalamus tells your blood vessels to constrict. This moves the blood farther from the skin’s surface, where its heat can escape. Your hypothalamus also signals your muscles to shiver, which kicks your metabolism into overdrive, 2-5 times the normal rate.
At this point, you’re on the brink. If you don’t get to safety soon, you’ll hit severe hypothermia and be in serious trouble. Eventually, even your brain will grow colder. When that happens, it stops functioning properly which can make you feel dizzy, disoriented, and even want to strip naked.
Before too long, you run the risk of permanent brain damage. But just how long do you have? It’s hard to know because each situation and person is different.
However, radiologist Anna Bagenholm currently holds the record for surviving the coldest body temperature. After a skiing accident, she endured 80 minutes in freezing cold water. Her body temperature had plummeted to 56.7 ºF or 13.7ºC. Hopefully, that never happens to you, but here are some tips for treating hypothermia with several safety measures.
Immediate first aid. Victims can also be treated with warm IV fluids and saltwater solutions.
And you can help to avoid hypothermia with some safety measures, like wearing appropriate clothing, avoiding overexertion in cold conditions, and letting people know what time you expect to arrive.
Run smart, travel smart, and dress smart — even if it makes you look like a giant marshmallow.

Educational video describing the condition of hypothermia.
Hypothermia is a life threatening condition that may result in death. A drop in the core body temperature of less than 95 degrees F (35 degrees C). this temperature is below what is required for normal metabolism and bodily function. The normal body temperature is between 97.7-99.5 degree Fahrenheit (F) which is the same as 36.5-37.5 degrees celsius (C). The body’s thermoregulation mechanism adjusts to weather changes.
During extreme cold, the body receives a signal from sensory receptors. The signal will go up to the brain. The brain then sends a signal to the body to respond to the col temperatures and attempts to maintain the core body temperature. This is necessary in order to provide the vital organs with the necessary heat to function properly. The brain will send a signal to the smooth muscle cells of the blood vessels of the skin and the skeletal muscles.
During the cold, the signal from the brain causes vasoconstriction of the arterioles in the skin which allows the body to shift the blood to more vital areas f the body. Another signal from the brain goes to the skeletal muscles which quickly contracts them causing shivering that helps to keep the body warm. If the body is exposed to cold and the thermoregulation mechanism is unable to preserve the heat, a drop in the core body temperature will occur. As the body temperature drops, characteristic symptoms will occur such as shivering and mental confusion.
Hypothermia can be mild, moderate, severe or profound. Heat is produced by the muscles, by the heart, as well as the liver and the body loses heat through the skin. The body heat increases 2-4 times more with contraction of the muscles from exercises or by shivering. Accurate core body temperature can be measured by a special low body temperature thermometer. Hypothermia may also be associated with frostbite.
Symptoms of hypothermia: depends on the degree of hypothermia:
•Shivering •Blushed lips and extremities
•Altered mental status due to decreased CNS electrical activity: such as confusion, poor judgment, etc.
•Slowly the patient may lapse into an unconscious state.
•Cold hands, feet or skin, shivering and teeth chattering or feeling cold does not necessarily mean you are experiencing hypothermia. Only a core body temperature below 95 degrees F indicates hypothermia.
Causes of hypothermia include:
•Exposure to low temperatures •Alcohol use during exposure to cold. •Poor clothing •Trauma
•Swimming or diving into cold water: heat is lost more in water than on land.
•A patient who perform outdoor sports such as skiing or mountain climbing.
•Patients who have had a major surgery
•Excessive blood and fluid loss. Alcohol consumption increase the risk of developing hypothermia ad does not help with the symptoms. Alcohol is a vasodilator and it increase the blood flow to the skin and extremities. Alcohol may make the patient feel warmer, however it increase the heat loss by vasodilation.
•Elderly people are most prone to hypothermia since they are more fragile, lower in body fat content, are prone to worse outcome if they have cardiac history. Keep elderly individuals home and warm.
•Children are also susceptible to hypothermia. Children have a smaller size and less body surface area. A child’s head is larger relative to the rest of their body and a lot of heat is lost through their heads. When outside in the cold, make sure to cover the heads of children.
•Paradoxical undressing: a large percentage of deaths occurs from hypothermia when the patient becomes confused and disoriented, they may remove their own clothing thinking they will feel better. When this occurs it only increases the rate of heat loss and the condition of hypothermia gets worse. The heart rate may slow in patients with hypothermia. It may be difficult to find a pulse, so keep trying. Hypothermia increases the heart’s need for oxygen and lethal cardiac arrhythmia may occur.
Hyperthermia is different from hypothermia. Hyperthermia occurs due to elevated body temperature that is present during heat exhaustion and heat strokes.
Treatment
•Immediate action is required •Move the patient from water and to a safe place. •Remove the wet clothing and wrap the patient with a warm, dry blanket. •Do not massage the patient •Do not apply dry heat •Warming of the patient should be done gradually.
Treatment at the hospital or in the field
•Usually begin with warm blankets •Warm IV fluids •Warm humidified oxygen •EKG •Blood warmer
Conclusion
•Any drop in body temperature will make a person feel cold.
•If you begin to shiver during exposure to cold, this is the point where you should get out of the weather and warm up.
•Prolonged exposure to cold beyond this point can be dangerous and it is not a good idea to remain exposed to these cold temperatures.

Hypothermia: it’s something you see all too often in movies starring Leonardo DiCaprio. But what is it, exactly? And how does it really happen?
Our body is always trying to maintain a balmy temperature of around 98.6℉ or 37°C. Hypothermia occurs when our body loses heat faster than we can produce it. And hypothermia doesn’t only strike sinking-ship victims and 19 th-century fur-trappers wandering in the wilderness.
Studies estimate about 1,500 Americans die of accidental hypothermia each year. In fact, exposure to cold is responsible for twice as many deaths as heat exposure annually. Young children and the elderly are especially vulnerable. So, why is hypothermia so dangerous?
Most heat loss occurs when unprotected surfaces radiate heat away from the body. In addition, wearing wet clothes makes heat loss even worse. And wind chill can quickly escalate the situation because it strips away the thin layer of heat on the skin’s surface. As your temperature drops, your body and brain fire back.
Your thyroid and adrenal glands release a flood of hormones that boost your metabolism, heart rate, and blood pressure. In the brain, the hypothalamus tells your blood vessels to constrict. This moves the blood farther from the skin’s surface, where its heat can escape. Your hypothalamus also signals your muscles to shiver, which kicks your metabolism into overdrive, 2-5 times the normal rate.
At this point, you’re on the brink. If you don’t get to safety soon, you’ll hit severe hypothermia and be in serious trouble. Eventually, even your brain will grow colder. When that happens, it stops functioning properly which can make you feel dizzy, disoriented, and even want to strip naked.
Before too long, you run the risk of permanent brain damage. But just how long do you have? It’s hard to know because each situation and person is different.
However, radiologist Anna Bagenholm currently holds the record for surviving the coldest body temperature. After a skiing accident, she endured 80 minutes in freezing cold water. Her body temperature had plummeted to 56.7 ºF or 13.7ºC. Hopefully, that never happens to you, but here are some tips for treating hypothermia with several safety measures.
Immediate first aid. Victims can also be treated with warm IV fluids and saltwater solutions.
And you can help to avoid hypothermia with some safety measures, like wearing appropriate clothing, avoiding overexertion in cold conditions, and letting people know what time you expect to arrive.
Run smart, travel smart, and dress smart — even if it makes you look like a giant marshmallow.

Educational video describing the condition of hypothermia.
Hypothermia is a life threatening condition that may result in death. A drop in the core body temperature of less than 95 degrees F (35 degrees C). this temperature is below what is required for normal metabolism and bodily function. The normal body temperature is between 97.7-99.5 degree Fahrenheit (F) which is the same as 36.5-37.5 degrees celsius (C). The body’s thermoregulation mechanism adjusts to weather changes.
During extreme cold, the body receives a signal from sensory receptors. The signal will go up to the brain. The brain then sends a signal to the body to respond to the col temperatures and attempts to maintain the core body temperature. This is necessary in order to provide the vital organs with the necessary heat to function properly. The brain will send a signal to the smooth muscle cells of the blood vessels of the skin and the skeletal muscles.
During the cold, the signal from the brain causes vasoconstriction of the arterioles in the skin which allows the body to shift the blood to more vital areas f the body. Another signal from the brain goes to the skeletal muscles which quickly contracts them causing shivering that helps to keep the body warm. If the body is exposed to cold and the thermoregulation mechanism is unable to preserve the heat, a drop in the core body temperature will occur. As the body temperature drops, characteristic symptoms will occur such as shivering and mental confusion.
Hypothermia can be mild, moderate, severe or profound. Heat is produced by the muscles, by the heart, as well as the liver and the body loses heat through the skin. The body heat increases 2-4 times more with contraction of the muscles from exercises or by shivering. Accurate core body temperature can be measured by a special low body temperature thermometer. Hypothermia may also be associated with frostbite.
Symptoms of hypothermia: depends on the degree of hypothermia:
•Shivering •Blushed lips and extremities
•Altered mental status due to decreased CNS electrical activity: such as confusion, poor judgment, etc.
•Slowly the patient may lapse into an unconscious state.
•Cold hands, feet or skin, shivering and teeth chattering or feeling cold does not necessarily mean you are experiencing hypothermia. Only a core body temperature below 95 degrees F indicates hypothermia.
Causes of hypothermia include:
•Exposure to low temperatures •Alcohol use during exposure to cold. •Poor clothing •Trauma
•Swimming or diving into cold water: heat is lost more in water than on land.
•A patient who perform outdoor sports such as skiing or mountain climbing.
•Patients who have had a major surgery
•Excessive blood and fluid loss. Alcohol consumption increase the risk of developing hypothermia ad does not help with the symptoms. Alcohol is a vasodilator and it increase the blood flow to the skin and extremities. Alcohol may make the patient feel warmer, however it increase the heat loss by vasodilation.
•Elderly people are most prone to hypothermia since they are more fragile, lower in body fat content, are prone to worse outcome if they have cardiac history. Keep elderly individuals home and warm.
•Children are also susceptible to hypothermia. Children have a smaller size and less body surface area. A child’s head is larger relative to the rest of their body and a lot of heat is lost through their heads. When outside in the cold, make sure to cover the heads of children.
•Paradoxical undressing: a large percentage of deaths occurs from hypothermia when the patient becomes confused and disoriented, they may remove their own clothing thinking they will feel better. When this occurs it only increases the rate of heat loss and the condition of hypothermia gets worse. The heart rate may slow in patients with hypothermia. It may be difficult to find a pulse, so keep trying. Hypothermia increases the heart’s need for oxygen and lethal cardiac arrhythmia may occur.
Hyperthermia is different from hypothermia. Hyperthermia occurs due to elevated body temperature that is present during heat exhaustion and heat strokes.
Treatment
•Immediate action is required •Move the patient from water and to a safe place. •Remove the wet clothing and wrap the patient with a warm, dry blanket. •Do not massage the patient •Do not apply dry heat •Warming of the patient should be done gradually.
Treatment at the hospital or in the field
•Usually begin with warm blankets •Warm IV fluids •Warm humidified oxygen •EKG •Blood warmer
Conclusion
•Any drop in body temperature will make a person feel cold.
•If you begin to shiver during exposure to cold, this is the point where you should get out of the weather and warm up.
•Prolonged exposure to cold beyond this point can be dangerous and it is not a good idea to remain exposed to these cold temperatures.

Hypothermia
Hypothermia is defined as a body core temperature below 35.0 °C (95.0 °F). Symptoms depend on the temperature. In mild hypothermia there is shivering and mental confusion. In moderate hypothermia shivering stops and confusion increases. In severe hypothermia there may be paradoxical undressing, where a person removes their clothing, as well as an increased risk of the heart stopping.
Hypothermia has two main types of causes. It classically occurs from extreme exposure to cold. It may also occur from any condition that decreases heat production or increases heat loss. Commonly this includes alcohol intoxication but may also include low blood sugar, anorexia, and advanced age, among others.Body temperature is usually maintained near a constant level of 36.5–37.5 °C (97.7–99.5 °F) through thermoregulation. Efforts to increase body temperature involve shivering, increased voluntary activity, and putting on warmer clothing. Hypothermia may be diagnosed based on either a person's symptoms in the presence of risk factors or by measuring a person's core temperature.

Because it's cold in the water today...
You can't feel your feet,
You can't feel your helmet,
You can't feel your legs,
And you're all sleepy and stuff!

You're just a kid,
You're too young to die today...
No fuck it! I want you to die you little shit!
It puts the lotion in the basket,
Take off your cloths cause you're cold,
And you're gonna die!

Your life is going before your eyes,
And you remember the way,
