Risk for Hypothermia?
Anyone who spends time outside in extremely cold
weather may be at risk for hypothermia. Young
children and older adults are also at increased risk
for accidental hypothermia even at temperatures
that may not be dangerous to others.
Other risk factors that can make you more
susceptible to hypothermia include taking certain
medications, having diabetes, and possibly even
some thyroid conditions. Mental illness and some
kinds of somatosensory disorders or nerve damage
are often cited as risk factors as well, since people
with these conditions may not be aware of the
sensations from their bodies, or may not take
appropriate action if they do.
Risk for Hypothermia
Medical conditions can impair your body’s ability to
maintain a normal body temperature or to sense cold
include:
• arthritis
• hypothyroidism
• dehydration
• diabetes
• Parkinson’s disease
• a stroke
• spinal cord injuries
• burns
• malnutrition
Medications such as some antidepressants can also make
you more susceptible to suffering from hypothermia.
Mekanisme Hipotermia
Body temperature below the normal range.
Normal body temperature is around 37 °C (98.6
°F). Hypothermia occurs as the body
temperature falls lower than normal; usually
below 35 °C (95 °F).
Hypothermia occurs when the body fails to
produce heat during metabolic processes, in
cells that support vital body functions. Most
heat is lost from the skin’s surface through
convection, conduction, radiation, and
evaporation. When the body temperature
drops, the heart, nervous system and other
organs can’t work normally leading to
complete failure of the heart and respiratory
system and eventually to death.
Hypothermia can be classified as:
inadvertent (seen postoperatively)
Inadvertent perioperative hypothermia is a common
consequence of anesthesia.
intentional (for medical purposes)
Intentional hypothermia is an induced state generally
directed at neuroprotection after an at-risk situation
usually after cardiac arrest.
accidental (exposure related). Accidental
hypothermia usually results from sudden exposure in
an inadequately prepared person such as an
inadequate shelter for a homeless person or
someone exposed in a winter storm or motor vehicle
accident.
Older adults are particularly exposed to accidental
hypothermia due to age-related changes in normal
thermoregulation.
Stage Hypothermia
HT I: Mild Hypothermia, 95-89.6 degrees
Normal or nearly normal consciousness,
shivering
HT II: Moderate Hypothermia, 89.6-82.4
degrees
Shivering stops, consciousness becomes
impaired
HT III: Severe Hypothermia, 82.4-75.2
degrees
Unconscious, may be difficult to detect
vital signs
HT IV: Apparent Death, 75.2-59 degrees
HT V: Death from irreversible hypothermia
Complications
People who develop hypothermia because of
exposure to cold weather or cold water are also
vulnerable to other cold-related injuries, including:
• Freezing of body tissues (frostbite)
• Decay and death of tissue resulting from an
interruption in blood flow (gangrene)
