Article Excerpts about Hypothermia
Accidental Hypothermia - Age Page - Health Information: NIA (Excerpt)
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. (Source: excerpt from Accidental Hypothermia - Age Page - Health Information: NIA)
Accidental Hypothermia - Age Page - Health Information: NIA (Excerpt)
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. (Source: excerpt from Accidental Hypothermia - Age Page - Health Information: NIA)
Definitions of Hypothermia:
Lower than normal body temperature, especially in warm-blooded animals; in man usually accidental or unintentional.
