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."

    Extractions: Web posted at: 5:19 p.m. EDT (2119 GMT) ATLANTA (CNN) Cold weather kills more than 700 people a year in the United States, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported this week. The government agency said that between 1979 and 1995, 12,368 Americans died of hypothermia, about three deaths per million people. Hypothermia occurs when the body core temperature falls below 95 degrees Fahrenheit (35 degrees Celsius). Symptoms can include extreme shivering, numbness in limbs, fatigue, shallow breathing, low blood pressure and impaired mental ability. Tips for avoiding exposure hypothermia: Follow the weather reports if you intend to be outside for extended periods. Realize that conditions may be worse than forecast. Dress properly. Wear layered, insulated clothing that doesn't retain moisture (polypropylene or wool) and a windproof outer layer. Always carry raingear. If possible, avoid going out in storms.

    As you know, hypothermia is a temperature related disorder. hypothermia is defined as a core temperature of less than 35 degrees Celcius.

    Extractions: 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.

    Extractions: If you are outdoors enjoying your favorite sport, you presumably do not intend to jeopardize your life. Hypothermia may be a new word to you, but it is the only word that describes the rapid, progressive mental and physical collapse accompanying the chilling of the inner core of the human body. Hypothermia is caused by exposure to cold, aggravated by wet, wind, and exhaustion. It is the number one killer of outdoor recreationalists 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

    Extractions: Hypothermia is the accidental lowering of the body's central (core) temperature to 35 degrees C/ 95 degrees F or less. Remember that hypothermia can occur in all seasons, that water greatly accelerates heat loss, and that children and the elderly are at particularly high risk for hypothermia. Remove wet garments, protect against further heat loss, transport supine in a warm environment and avoid rough handling or excess activity. Although stimulation has been reported to cause cardiac arrhythmia's, needed procedures should not be withheld. Monitor cardiac rhythm, establish IV access, and administer supplemental oxygen. The administration of warmed, humidified oxygen or air (if possible) is an effective re-warming therapy. Patients with mild to moderate hypothermia ma be treated with warm blankets and warm packs applied to the trunk only. For unresponsive patients, if pulseless after a 30-45 second check, start CPR. Defibrillate VF/VT up to a total of three shocks, intubate and establish IV access: if the patient is severely hypothermic (temperature 30 degrees C, 86 degrees F or less) then continue CPR but do not administer further shocks or IV medications. The hypothermic heart does not respond to resuscitative medications until warmed. If the patient is warmer (temperature 30 degrees C or more) continue with the appropriate is warmer (temperature 30 degrees C or more) continue with the appropriate resuscitation protocol. Bradycardia is a normal response to lower body temperature and need not be treated in the hypothermic patient with a pulse.

    Extractions: Boating Programs H ypothermia is a serious threat to Northwest boaters, and it takes the lives of several Washingtonians each years. Our marine waters and most of the state's lakes and streams remain cold throughout the year, so hypothermia is a danger that knows no season. A boater who ends up in the water may begin falling victim to hypothermia in a matter of only a few minutes, so quick action is often the key to survival. Understanding and avoiding hypothermia can mean the difference between being alive or dead when help arrives. What is Hypothermia? Hypothermia is subnormal temperature within the central body. When a person is immersed in cold water, the skin and nearby tissues cool very fast. However, it may take 10 to 15 minutes. before the temperature of the heart and brain starts to drop. When the core temperature drops below 90° F serious complications begin to develop. Death may occur at about 80° F; however, a person may drown at a higher temperature due to loss of consciousness or inability to use the arms and legs. How Long can I Survive in Cold Water?
