Hypothermia

Hypothermia is an emergency & dangerous condition that occurs when humans are exposed to cold & very cold temperatures. Hypothermia can also occur when humans feel cold due to rain, sweat & submerged in cold water.

Some other things that cause Hypothermia:

- Wet clothes

- Insufficient heating

- The room is too cold

- Being outdoors for a long time

When exposed to cold temperatures, the human body begins to lose heat more quickly, then the body temperature becomes lower & eventually the energy in the body will be exhausted & lost.

Consequences of too low body temperature & loss of energy:

- Disorders of the brain, so they become confused, can't think & lose their memory

- Disturbances in the body & muscles, so they can't move, can't talk & feel very tired

- Disorders of the skin that causes shaking & the skin becomes red

Some things that can be done to treat Hypothermia:

- Take the victim to a dry & warm place

- Use warm & dry clothes & blankets to warm the chest, neck & head

- CPR

- Medical treatment

Sea Survival

Humans are tropical creatures & to survive outside a tropical environment, humans must use clothing & shelter to prevent body cooling.

Incidents can occur at sea because the victims:

- Can't swim & then drown in the sea

- Exposed to cold weather & water

- Not using PPE & rescue equipment (life jackets, wetsuits, life rafts & more)

Things to remember:

- Cold air & water will irritate the skin, muscles, breathing, nerves & heart (usually called cold shock)

- Breathing that is not done properly & uncontrolled will disrupt blood flow, nervous system & heart

- Disorders of the heart when at sea can lead to stroke & heart attack

- Inability to control breathing resulting in drowning

- Various disturbances in the body will interfere with swimming performance & other actions that are important for survival

- Disturbed body temperature (Hypothermia) can cause death

- Hypothermia can cause confusion, disorientation, amnesia, cardiac arrhythmias, loss of consciousness & death

Simple tips:

- If you don't need to be in the sea, try to keep your body dry & warm

- If you need to jump to the sea, enter the sea slowly
