Definition: Core Temperature <35°C (95°F) Unintentional hypothermia (core cooling <35°C) is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Roughly 1500 persons die of accidental hypothermia in the US annually. [1]
Deep hypothermic circulatory arrest ( DHCA) is a surgical technique in which the temperature of the body falls significantly (between 20 °C (68 °F) to 25 °C (77 °F)) and blood circulation is stopped for up to one hour.

Normal body temperature is around 37°C (98.6°F), and hypothermia sets in when the core body temperature gets lower than 35 °C (95 °F). [2] . Usually caused by prolonged exposure to cold temperatures, hypothermia is usually treated by methods that attempt to raise the body temperature back to a normal range. [3] .
Az emberi szervezet normális hőmérséklete 36 és 37 °C között van, amelynek csökkenése hipotermiás állapothoz vezethet. A kihűlés nem csak a szélsőséges hidegben lévőkre jelent veszélyt, hosszabb távon akár egy fűtetlen lakás is kiválthatja. A gyermekek, az idősek és a sérültek fokozottan vannak kitéve a szervezet ...
Hypothermia cap. A hypothermia cap (also referred to as cold cap or cooling cap) is a therapeutic device used to cool the human scalp. Its most prominent medical applications are in preventing or reducing alopecia in chemotherapy, and for preventing cerebral palsy in babies born with neonatal encephalopathy caused by hypoxic-ischemic ...
Hypothermia: Characterized in the center: Normal body temperature is shown in green, while hypothermic temperature is shown in blue. As can be seen, hypothermia can be conceptualized as a decrease below the thermoregulatory set-point.
