ANSWER THE QUESTIONS

1. What is Hypothermia?

It is the decrease of the central body temperature below 35ºC, temperature

at which the compensating mechanisms to maintain body heat begin to
fail.

2. How do you know if somebody has hypothermia?

From the following signs and symptoms: chills, babbling or murmuring,

slow, shallow breathing, weak pulse, clumsiness or lack of coordination,
drowsiness or too little energy, confusion or memory loss, cold skin.

3. What do you have to do if you are with somebody who has

hypothermia?

That should be done if you find a patient with hypothermia:

 Remove the patient's clothing if it is wet.
 Giving the patient extra clothing by trying to keep him warm.
 Give the patient some warm drink.
 Close all windows and doors where air can enter.

4. What is the difference between hypothermia and hyperthermia?

Hypothermia is lowering of core body temperature (tympanic, esophageal,

or rectal) to < 35°C (< 95°F). while hyperthermia is usually usually results
in elevation of body temperature to > 41°C (>105.8°F).

5. Which one is more dangerous: hypothermia or hyperthermia?

Hypothermia is more dangerous because the very high temperature alters

the physiological and atomic structure of our cells, making them useless
to one point of no return.
 6. Explain how to fulfill one of the steps for treating hypothermia.

With regard to one of the methods of controlling a patient with

hypothermia, for example, the main thing is to return the patient to his
normal temperature, so this can be achieved in many ways, including
preparing drinks or a shower with warm water.

7. Do you know what FIRST AIDS mean?

They consist of the immediate attention given to a sick, injured or injured

person at the place of the events, before being transferred to a care center
or hospital.
