IF someone starts to shiver violently, stumbled, spoke haltingly or can not respond to questions asked, susceptibility to hypothermia and warm them quickly.
Handling of hypothermia depends on the level of hypothermia. Handling out of mild hypothermia include cold or wet environment, using warm blankets, heating and hot water bottle.
Moderate to severe hypothermia is usually treated in hospitals, where health professionals can give warm fluids through blood vessels, oxygen moist instead of other treatments to warm the core body temperature.
Therefore, if hypothermia is not addressed immediately by the blood flow in blood vessels can clot and block blood flow throughout the body. In these circumstances, the patient's body will be numb and must be amputated in order to spread to other body parts.
Hypothermia occurs when the body becomes cold and loses heat faster than heat can be formed by the body. Normal body temperature ranges from 36.4 degrees to 37.6 degrees and 37 degrees for most people.
Hypothermia can occur if you are too long exposed to cold air, cold water, wind or cold rain. Your body temperature can drop to a low temperature level, which is 10 degrees or higher on a wet and windy weather, or if you are in the water with a temperature of 16-21 degrees. If you are exposed to mild hypothermia, home treatment may be enough to restore your body temperature to normal.
Early symptoms of hypothermia are usually body shivering, pale skin is accompanied by a bluish. then advanced symptoms which include wheezing breath and weak. after that shivering will stop if the temperature drops below 32 degrees
