HYPOTHERMIA
Hypothermia is a condition where the body temperature decreases
because the body cant generate enough heat to maintain its normal
temperature. It can be serious and usually occurs where victims have
been immersed in water (under 68 degrees) for extended periods of
time. If you encounter a possible hypothermia victim call for help on
the radio and get the person out of the water.
Symptoms are:
1. Shivering that if condition is advanced may stop.
2. Confusion, clumsiness or slurred speech.
3. Rigid muscles.
4. Semiconscious to unconscious.
Treat hypothermia by the following:
Remove wet clothing.
Monitor the victim’s pulse and breathing.
Rapidly apply heat to the body core by using blankets, naked
bodies or warm water.
Do not give the person any food or drink.
Do not warm the arms and legs. Warming of these extremities
can be fatal.
Follow up immediately with medical authorities!
