Hunt's Tomato Sauce Puffs Family Pack 1.09 Keepin' Healthy by Mary Richards As the cost of heating fuel goes up, the number of accidental hypothermia cases goes up. More and more people are lowering their thermostats to save money at the risk of a dangerous drop in their internal body temperature, What is accidental hypothermia? Hypothermia is a in internal body temperature to 95 degrees Fahrenheit or under. This can be deadly if not detected. promptly and treated properly. As many 50,000 people die each year from hypothermia.
usually occurs over a period of a few days or several weeks. Even mildly cool temperatures of 60 to 65 degrees Fahrenheit -can trigger hypothermia. However, a drop in internal body temperature also can occur rapidly if a person falls into icy water or is exposed to freezing weather without proper clothing. A drop in internal body temperature can happen to anyone, but the elderly are more at risk. One reason older men and women are particularly susceptible to hypothermia is that their bodies often do not adjust to changes int temperature as quickly as they used to.
They may not be aware they are gradually getting colder. A person is especially vulnerable if he or she is sick or unable to move around well, or does not shiver or react to cold normally. When boby temperature drops below 94 or 95 degrees, the blood vessels near the surface of the body narrow to reduce heat loss. Muscles begin to tighten to make heat. If the body continues to cool, shivering.
will start and continue until the temperature drops to about 90 degrees F. Then it gets into the danger area. If the body temperature drops below 90, a life-threatening situation exists. There are several signs that can aid in identifying possible victims, but not even a doctor can tell exactly how. vulnerable a person might be.
Hypothermia can deprive people of judgment and reasoning power because the cold affects the brain. Signs to look for are forgetfulness, drowsiness, slurred speech. and a change in appearance, such as a puffy face. A victim will have a weak pulse. a slow heartbeat and very slow, shallow Coma is probable if the body temperature drops to or below 90 degrees.
If you should notice these symptoms in another person. take their temperature. If it is 95 degrees or below, call a doctor or ambulance. or take the victim directly to a hospital. Try to prevent further heat loss by wrapping the victim in a warm blanket--preferably thermal or elect ic.
You can also use hot water bottles or electric heating pads on the stomach--but never on a high setting. Do not give: hypothermia victim a hot shower or bath; it could cause sudden shock. If the victim is alert, give him small quantities of warm food or drink but nothing alcoholic. Don't try to treat hypothermia at home. The condition should be treated in a hospital.
The state health department recommends that in the homes and apartments of those than age 65, the temperature should be kept above 65 degrees. For those more than 75, or those who are bedridden, the thermostat should be kept at 70 degrees or above. Several layers of warm clothing should be worn when going out in cold weather. If you have further questions about accidental hypothermia. consult your physician or contact the Illinois Department of Public Health.
