21. MFAAA - Emergency Preparedness: Prepare: Hypothermia Effects of cool temperatures on the elderly. Even normal room tmperatures can be serious. http://www.mfaaa.org/emergency/prepare/cold.html

Home Plan Prepare Recovery ... Resources Hypothermia If you are over 60 years old, you SHOULD set your thermostat at 70 degrees or higher in order to avoid hypothermia. If you keep your thermostat set in the 60s, dress warmly, or if possible, stay under an electric blanket. Many elderly people experience accidental hypothermia in their own homes, often brought on by an extra sleeping pill or alcoholic drinks. Symptoms include pale, waxy skin, trembling, slow breathing, confusion, sleepiness and a noticeably cold stomach. If you have experienced a power outage and are still exposed to temperatures of less than 60 degrees for more than eight hours, consult your doctor NOW, especially if you have a history of accidental hypothermia, if you have mobility problems, such as arthritis, if you have thyroid deficiency, or are taking tranquilizers or antidepressant medications. If your power is out, ALWAYS wear a hat to keep your head warm, wear dry socks and mittens. If you are still without power, call your electric company IMMEDIATELY and report your power failure, because they may not be aware it is still out. Keep calling to check the status of the repair.

26. Hypothermia And Near Drowning Outlines of diagnosis, early treatment and management of the diver with hypothermia and neardrowning. From Diving Medicine Online. http://scuba-doc.com/hypoth.htm

Immersion Hypothermia and Cold Water Near-drowning What is hypothermia and near-drowning? Hypothermia is a lowered body temperature less than 95 degrees F. Cold water near-drowning is considered a submersion accident often leading to unconsciousness or coma in water temperatures of 70 degrees F or less. A long submersion time is considered 4 to 6 minutes or greater. (See further discussion below) Why is this important to scuba divers? Decompression sickness or air embolism often lead to immersion hypothermia and cold water near-drowning as the natural consequences of these diving accidents. How does this occur? The body loses heat to the environment by: Conduction , the transfer of heat by direct contact with the water, air or ground Convection , the transfer of heat by air or water that moves away Radiation, the transfer of energy by non-particulate means, heat loss from an unprotected head Evaporation , conversion of water droplets (sweat) into water vapor, thereby absorbing calories of heat. IMMERSION HYPOTHERMIA Why is hypothermia dangerous?

NEW YORK (AP) Ferry passengers struggled with amputations, chest and back pain and hypothermia Wednesday evening hours after a Staten Island ferry slammed into a pier while docking Wednesday afternoon. The crash sent some screaming passengers leaping into 62-degree water and others diving for cover as metal crunched into wood along the Staten Island dock, across New York Harbor from Lower Manhattan. The 310-foot ferry, carrying about 1,500 passengers, plowed into the enormous wooden pilings on the Staten Island end of its run from Manhattan, reducing the front of the mighty boat to a mass of shattered planks, broken glass and twisted steel. The crash happened on a windswept afternoon, with gusts over 40 mph and the water in New York Harbor very choppy. "Everyone just jumped for their lives," rider Bob Carroll told TV station NY1. "It was like an absolute horror. ... The whole side of the boat looked like an opener on a can."

It is the number one killer of outdoor recreationalists Hypothermia in Water Body Heat Lost COLD KILLS IN TWO DISTINCT STEPS EXPOSURE AND EXHAUSTION The moment your body begins to lose heat faster than it produces it, you are undergoing exposure. Two things happen: You voluntarily exercise to stay warm Your body makes involuntary adjustments to preserve normal temperature in the vital organs , and you start shivering. Either response drains your energy reserves. The only way to stop the drain is to reduce the degree of exposure.

Hypothermia - Physiology, Signs, Symptoms and Treatment Considerations SARBC Search and Rescue Society of British Columbia Hypothermia Physiology, Signs, Symptoms and Treatment Considerations As you know, hypothermia is a temperature related disorder. Therefore, it is necessary to understand human physiology as it pertains to temperature stress. Man is considered to be a tropical animal. Normal functioning of the human animal requires a body temperature of 37 degrees Celcius (98.6 degrees Fahrenheit). Comfortable human survival using only that protection from temperature stress which is provided physiologically at birth would therefore require an environment providing a temperature of 37 degrees Celcius, plus or minus perhaps 1 degree. The body can self-compensate for small upward or downward variations in temperature through the activation of a built-in thermoregulatory system, controlled by temperature sensors in the skin. The response to an upward variation in body temperature is the initiation of perspiration, which moves moisture from body tissues to the body surface. When the moisture reaches the surface it evaporates, carrying with it a quantity of heat. The explanation for a person becoming thirsty when exposed to a hot environment for a period of time is that fluids lost due to perspiration must be replaced. The response to a downward variation in body temperature is shivering, which is the body's attempt to generate heat. Shivering is an involuntary contraction and expansion of muscle tissue occurring on a large scale. This muscle action creates heat through friction.

What should I do if I see someone with warning signs of hypothermia? ... How can I heat my home safely? What is hypothermia? When exposed to cold temperatures, your body begins to lose heat faster than it can be produced. The result is hypothermia, or abnormally low body temperature. Body temperature that is too low affects the brain, making the victim unable to think clearly or move well. This makes hypothermia particularly dangerous because a person may not know it is happening and won't be able to do anything about it. Hypothermia occurs most commonly at very cold environmental temperatures, but can occur even at cool temperatures (above 40°F) if a person becomes chilled from rain, sweat, or submersion in cold water. Who is most at risk for hypothermia?

The most common cold-related problems are hypothermia and frostbite Overview Recognizing What to do When exposed to cold temperatures, your body begins to lose heat faster than it can be produced. Prolonged exposure to cold will eventually use up your body's stored energy. The result is hypothermia, or abnormally low body temperature. Body temperature that is too low affects the brain, making the victim unable to think clearly or move well. This makes hypothermia particularly dangerous because a person may not know it is happening and won't be able to do anything about it. Hypothermia is most likely at very cold temperatures, but can occur even at cool temperatures (above 40°F) if a person becomes chilled from rain, sweat, or submersion in cold water. Victims of hypothermia are most often (1) elderly people with inadequate food, clothing, or heating; (2) babies sleeping in cold bedrooms; and (3) people who remain outdoors for long periods the homeless, hikers, hunters, etc.
