102. Hypothermia Health The Cold. hypothermia. hypothermia can kill at an amazing pace when cold temperatures and strong winds cause the body to lose heat quickly. http://www.climbing-high.com/hypothermia.html

Health - The Cold Hypothermia The risk of hypothermia is significantly higher when: Temperatures are below freezing, although anything which is below body temperature (98.6°F/37C) can explain hypothermia, especially in old people. Climbers are wearing inappropriate clothing or using ineffectual equipment. Climbers are either wet, tired, dehydrated or suffering from malnutrition. Climbers are ignorant of hypothermia. Alcohol is consumed, because alcohol makes blood vessels dilate, providing a lager surface area through which heat can be lost. As with frostbite it is easier to prevent hypothermia than it is to cure it. Here are some valuable tips: Eat properly with plenty of carbohydrates and fats for energy and warmth. Drink plenty. If a person doesn't get up in the night at least once to urinate then they are not drinking enough. Urine should be a pale yellow, straw-like colour, not dark. Get enough sleep. Climbing mountains is gruelling work and cannot be done on only four hours sleep. Being well rested will make you feel energized and positive about the day's climb. Remove any wet clothes immediately. They cause accelerated heat loss and impair movement.

Hypothermia in Lambs Publication AP031 March 21, 2000 Introduction Hypothermia in lambs means the animal's body temperature has dropped below normal. This condition can lead to delayed growth or death. Early detection and intervention can greatly increase a lamb's chances of survival. This factsheet describes some of the causes of hypothermia, how to detect it and how to successfully intervene. A related factsheet titled "Stomach Tubing Young Lambs" is also available. Lambs at Risk The lambs that are at the greatest risk of getting hypothermia include: lambs from ewes in poor condition lambs from very old or very young ewes twins and especially triplets small and premature lambs lambs which are limp or weak at birth All these lambs need extra shelter and nourishment to survive. Detection of Hypothermia Take the lamb's temperature with a rectal thermometer. If the lamb's temperature is: 39 to 40 C - the lamb is normal 37 to 39 C - the lamb is at risk 37 C or less - the lamb has hypothermia and is in danger of dying. Times of High Risk From birth to 6 hours of age - the wet newborn lamb loses heat very rapidly and can quickly become hypothermic. This is more likely to occur in cold, wet or windy conditions. Adequate colostrum and brown fat (a type of fat that the lamb is born with) help the lamb through this period by increasing heat production.

Accidental Hypothermia The Cold Can Be Trouble for Older People Introduction What is hypothermia? What to look for Treatment and recovery from hypothermia ... Remember these important facts Introduction Cold weather can be risky for anyone, but especially for older people. Almost everyone is familiar with winter hazards such as broken bones from falls on ice or breathing difficulties triggered by cold air. But the winter chill can also lead to a temperature drop inside the body that can be deadly if not found quickly and treated properly. This lowered body temperature, usually brought on by staying in a cool place for a long time, is called hypothermia (hi-po-ther-mee-uh). It is a special problem for older people, who often have other illnesses or take medications that can interfere with the body’s ability to regulate its temperature. What is hypothermia? Hypothermia is marked by unusually low body temperatures, below 96° F (35.5° C) - well below the body’s normal temperature of 98.6° F (37° C). What may seem like a mere couple of degrees can have a devastating effect. Severe hypothermia can cause an irregular heartbeat leading to heart failure and death. Body temperature is a balance between how much heat is produced and how much is lost. The brain acts as a thermostat, sending and receiving signals to and from parts of the body that affect temperature: the spinal cord, muscles, blood vessels, endocrine system, and skin. The body has many different reactions to cold. Shivering by the muscles, for instance, is one way the body produces heat. Muscles shiver in response to messages sent by the nerves; shivering increases muscle cell activity, which in turn produces heat.

105. Cold Injuries Hypothermia And Frostbite Cold Injuries hypothermia and Frostbite. Cold injury to our body s core is called hypothermia, and cold injury to our body s shell is called frostbite. http://www.hughston.com/hha/a.coldinj.htm

Cold Injuries Hypothermia and Frostbite Cold injuries are usually due to prolonged exposure to cold temperatures, although they can occur with brief exposure to extremely cold conditions. They occur because our body's ability to generate heat and to limit heat loss is quite limited. For heat regulation, our body uses its core (internal organs such as the brain and heart) and its shell (skin, muscles, and limbs). Cold injury to our body's core is called hypothermia, and cold injury to our body's shell is called frostbite. Hypothermia and frostbite commonly occur together, but they can occur separately. What is hypothermia? Hypothermia is a decrease in core body temperature from exposure to a cold environment. Surprisingly, hypothermia can even occur at mild temperatures if exposure is prolonged. Our body's natural defenses against the cold are quite limited. Initially, the blood vessels in our skin constrict to reduce heat loss and to keep blood flowing to the vital organs. Shivering (involuntary muscle contraction) and the increased release of hormones result in increased heat production. However, blood vessel constriction and hormone release are usually inadequate to maintain our body's temperature in cold environments. Individuals who drink alcohol, as well as those who suffer from fatigue, spinal cord injuries, or poor nutrition, are at greater risk for hypothermia. Treatment of hypothermia To help someone with hypothermia, contact the emergency medical system immediately. Remove all cold, wet clothing and replace it with warm, dry clothing to prevent further heat loss. If the person is not breathing or has no pulse, begin cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), and do not stop until emergency medical personnel arrive. If the patient is not alert or is unconscious, take care to immobilize the neck when moving the patient: moving a patient with a fractured neck can result in permanent nerve damage or paralysis.

107. Chil.htm hypothermiaThe Big Chill. By Randy Gerke. When Does hypothermia Occur. Many people think that hypothermia occurs only in an extreme arctic environment. http://www.etisurvival.com/chil.htm

HYPOTHERMIA-The Big Chill By Randy Gerke The silent killer, hypothermia, takes many lives each year. A hundred years ago hypothermia was not understood. Many people died from it, but no one actually understood what it was. Those deaths were usually attributed to other causes. Until recently, little was known about the causes and effects of hypothermia. To understand how to prevent and treat hypothermia, we must first explore the causes. The body is an intricate collection of organs and systems. These systems operate most efficiently at a temperature of near 98.6 F. They are also very sensitive to the smallest changes in temperature. Whenever the core temperature of the body goes up or down these systems begin to fail. Specifically, hypothermia means the lowering of the body's core temperature to a level at which the body begins to fail. This is considered to happen at a core temperature of 95 F degrees. Heat Production Heat Loss There are five ways our bodies lose heat. Radiation Most of the heat loss from the body occurs through radiation. The body constantly radiates heat which is passed into the surrounding air. The major area of concern is the head. The head is provided with a large number of blood vessels, so that the brain will have an adequate blood supply. This blood system is located very close to the surface of the skin. Because of this, the majority of heat that the body produces is lost from the heat and neck area during cold conditions. Heat is also lost from any other exposed part of the body.

The lance corporal, an army medic in his 20s, had sought shelter from the blazing northern summer sun but was found asleep in a dangerous condition by a colleague and was taken to hospital, the Daily Mirror newspaper reported. It said the soldier told officers he had become trapped while getting supplies but they didn't believe him. "The lad was a bit of a fool to think he could have a kip in a fridge and not suffer from pretty bad consequences," a fellow soldier told the newspaper. "But it's so hot here that most people kind of understand what was behind his bizarre logic."
