5. Georgia Farm Bureau Safety Hypothermia
   When you hear about hypothermia, you usually envision someone stranded in a terrible winter storm. However, hypothermia can occur when it's wet, windy and up to 50 or 60 degrees Fahrenheit. This condition is most common in cold weather, but infants and the elderly can develop hypothermia at temperatures greater than 60 degrees Fahrenheit.

   Extractions: Cold Weather Precautions Preventing Hypothermia The Missouri Department of Health and the State Emergency Management Agency warn Missourians to take extra precautions during severe cold weather to avoid suffering cold-related illnesses or hypothermia. Hypothermia occurs when the body's temperature falls below normal. Early and mild symptoms include: shivering, slurred speech, mental slowness or lethargy, muscular stiffness and clumsiness. Symptoms of severe hypothermia include mental confusion, disor ientation, stupor or coma, absence of shivering, stiff or rigid muscles, shallow and very slow breathing, weak pulse and a fall in blood pressure. If symptoms are detected, especially in the elderly, seek immediate medical help. To prevent Hypothermia take the following precautions: * Wear several layers of warm, loose-fitting clothes. * Sleep with plenty of blankets. * Eat hot, nutritious meals. * Maintain daily contact with someone outside your home. * Avoid the use of alcoholic beverages. * Place emergency phone numbers in a handy place.

   Extractions: Search September 9, 2005 Registration Healthcare Professionals You are in: Environmental Exposures and Injuries Hypothermia has been a military problem ever since Hannibal lost nearly half of his troops while crossing the Pyrenees Alps in 218 B.C. and has continued to plague military campaigns through both world wars and the Korean War. Today, with the popularity of an expanding number of winter sports and increasing at-risk populations, hypothermia has slowly become a civilian, urban problem.

   Because of spinal cord injury, the temperature of the body has an increased tendency to fluctuate according to the temperature of the environment.  
   http://calder.med.miami.edu/pointis/hype.html
   
   Extractions: Because of your spinal cord injury, the temperature of your body has an increased tendency to fluctuate according to the temperature of the environment. If you are in a hot room your temperature may increase (hyperthermia); if you are in a cold room, your temperature may decrease (hypothermia). This occurs because of the altered function of the autonomic nervous system. The higher the level of injury, the greater the tendency for fluctuations in your body temperature. Hyperthermia Hyperthermia refers to an elevation in body temperature. For example, it may occur on a hot day if you are out-of-doors, sitting in a hot car, or covered with too many blankets. One or more of the following symptoms may indicate hyperthermia: It is important that you attempt to prevent hyperthermia when exposed to an overheated environment.

    Extractions: 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.

    Exposure to the cold is estimated to cause 30000 deaths a year in the UK. hypothermia is one of the most deadly coldinduced conditions.  
    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/medical_notes/276284.stm
    
    Extractions: Exposure to cold is estimated to cause 30,000 deaths a year in the UK. The causes vary, and include increased susceptibility to flu and other viruses. However, hypothermia is one of the most deadly cold-induced conditions and, if not caught and treated early on, can lead to a rapid decline in the body's ability to function normally. What is it? Hypothermia occurs when the body's core temperature is lowered due to exposure to cold. It can occur even at mild temperatures if exposure is prolonged. The body's natural defences against the cold consist of restricting the flow of blood to the skin so as to prevent heat loss, along with shivering and releasing hormones to generate heat. These measures are limited and are usually inadequate to maintain body temperature in cold environments. What are the symptoms?

    Management of hypothermia in a clinical setting. Much of the information is also useful in the field. By John Hickey.

    Extractions: Management of Hypothermia You may have noticed that it's getting colder outside. Moreover, some of my patients have informed me that the Almanac is predicting a hard winter. It would therefore seem appropriate to review the management of Hypothermia It goes without saying that the best management is prevention , so encourage your patients to dress properly in low temperatures, accounting for dampness and wind chill. Never-the-less we will continue to see cases of hypothermia in the Emergency Room. Warmed, humidified O Esophageal rewarming tubes are used extensively in Europe and may soon be available in North America. Once this temperature is attained you proceed with ACLS recognizing that the medications may accumulate and reach toxic levels, so the interval between boluses should be longer than normal. This interval, and the frequency of defibrillation attempts is somewhat empirical, but recusitation attempts should not be stopped until the patient has been rewarmed to normal or near normal temperature. Endotracheal intubation and the placing of other tubes must be done gently, as these patients have a lower fibrillation threshold.
