First Aid

Hypothermia Lowering of the bodies core temperature Hypothermia occurs when body core temperature lowers below 35°C/95°F. Hypothermia does NOT require temperatures below freezing to occur! In fact more people die of hypothermia in the summer than in the winter!

Symptoms of Hypothermia Stage One: Shivering, blue extremities, numbness, tingling, and blotchy skin. Stage Two: Decreased coordination, muscle rigidity, slow breathing, and slow or irregular pulse Stage Three: dilated and fixed pupils, absent reflexes, coma, cardiac arrest and death

Symptoms you may recognize as trouble: Shivering. Fatigue. Stumbling. Poor speech. Poor orientation. Careless attitude

Signs of Hypothermia trouble in your friends: Poor coordination. Slowing of pace. Stumbling. Forgetfulness. Hallucinations. Thickness of Speech. Dilation of pupils Decreased attention. Careless attitude.

Treatment Dry the victim and cover with blankets. Shelter the victim from wind and water. Provide heat to the neck, underarms, and groin Keep the victim lying down. Administer warm fluids only after the victim stops shivering Avoid moving/jarring the victim suddenly because this may trigger an abnormal heart rhythm.
