	Hypothermia Prevention, Recognition and Treatment
		It has been stated that there is no longer any excuse for hypothermia deaths; the knowledge and the technology needed to cope with hypothermia exist, so that treatment is now a matter of preparedness with the application of up-to-date techniques and equipment.
		Hypothermia treatment, described in many current protocols such as the State of Alaska Cold Injuries Guidelines (Revised 1/2005) recommend that heated 108°F (42°C) and humidified oxygen or air should be administered
		This method also warms the hypothalemus, the temperature regulation center, the respiratory center, and the cardiac center at the base of the brainstem, this rewarming of the central nervous system at the brainstem reverses the cold-induced depression of the respiratory centers and improves the level of consciousness.

	SingaporeMoms - Parenting Encyclopedia - Hypothermia
		Hypothermia is a medical condition in which the victim's core body temperature has dropped to significantly below normal and normal metabolism begins to be impaired.
		In hypothermia, the heart becomes extremely "irritable", and sudden re-warming can provoke cardiac arrhythmias, irregular beating of the heart in which blood isn't pumped adequately or may not be pumped at all.
		Hypothermia is sometimes induced deliberately as preparation for surgery or to maintain artificial coma to increase survival chances after severe injury.

	Hypothermia - Definition, Description, Causes, Symptoms, Diagnosis, Treatment, Prognosis, Prevention
		Primary hypothermia occurs when the body's heat-balancing mechanisms are working properly but the body is subjected to extremely cold conditions.
		Hypothermia may develop even if a person is exposed to even mildly cold conditions.
		Secondary hypothermia is often a threat to the elderly.

	Hypothermia
		An ever present danger in cold climates is hypothermia, a condition created when you lose body heat faster than you create it.
		Early symptoms of hypothermia include slurred speech, trembling, exhaustion, stumbling, and impaired judgment.
		Hypothermia can result from cold ambient temperatures between 30 and 60 degrees F, especially when accompanied by wind or rain.

	What you need to know about Hypothermia
		Hypothermia is a condition that exists when the body’s temperature drops below ninety-five degrees.
		Hypothermia is progressive - the body passes through several stages before an individual lapses into an unconscious state.
		Severe Hypothermia - the person collapses and is unconscious and shows signs of respiratory distress and/or cardiac arrest probably leading to death.

	Older People Staying Warm in the Winter, January 21, 2005 Press Release - National Institutes of Health (NIH)
		Every year, hypothermia kills about 600 Americans, half of whom are 65 and older, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
		Hypothermia (hi-po-ther-mee-uh) occurs when a person's normal body temperature drops from 98.6 degrees to 95 degrees.
		Older people may be at greater risk for this condition if their body's response to cold is diminished by certain illnesses like arthritis and medications like some over-the-counter cold remedies.

	Hypothermia - Patient UK
		Hypothermia is defined as a core body temperature below 35 degrees C. The drop in core temperature may be rapid, as in immersion in near-freezing water, or slow, as in exposure to more temperate environments.
		Patients who appear to have suffered a cardiac arrest or death as a result of hypothermia should not be pronounced dead until they are rewarmed.
		Hypothermia is not confined to the elederly, nearly every year a party of schoolchildren is rescued from the moors suffering from hypothermia.

	Hypothermia in Dogs
		Hypothermia is a condition in which the body temperature becomes too low for normal functioning.
		Animals with hypothermia often have violent shivering, and slow and shallow respiration.
		The extent of the injuries varies with the body temperature and duration of hypothermia.

	Hypothermia: First aid - MayoClinic.com
		Someone with hypothermia typically experiences gradual loss of mental acuity and physical ability, and so may be unaware of the need for emergency medical treatment.
		Other people at higher risk for hypothermia than the general public include those whose judgment may be impaired by mental illness or Alzheimer's disease and people who are intoxicated, homeless or caught in cold weather because their vehicles have broken down.
		Other conditions that may predispose people to hypothermia are malnutrition, cardiovascular disease and an underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism).

	Off-Season Boating, Cold Shock and Hypothermia
		Hypothermia (decreased body temperature) develops more slowly than the immediate effects of cold shock.
		Survival curves show that an adult dressed in average clothing may remain conscious for an hour at 40 degrees F and perhaps 2-3 hours at 50 degrees F (water temp.).
		The water temperature was 50-55 degrees F. The victims drowned as a result of hypothermia.
