Normal human body temperature ( normothermia, euthermia) is the typical temperature range found in humans. The normal human body temperature range is typically stated as 36.5–37.5 °C (97.7–99.5 °F). [8] [9] Human body temperature varies. It depends on sex, age, time of day, exertion level, health status (such as illness and menstruation ...
The trauma triad of death is a medical term describing the combination of hypothermia, acidosis, and coagulopathy. [1] This combination is commonly seen in patients who have sustained severe traumatic injuries and results in a significant rise in the mortality rate. [2] Commonly, when someone presents with these signs, damage control surgery is ...
The oxygen–hemoglobin dissociation curve, also called the oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve or oxygen dissociation curve ( ODC ), is a curve that plots the proportion of hemoglobin in its saturated ( oxygen -laden) form on the vertical axis against the prevailing oxygen tension on the horizontal axis. This curve is an important tool for ...
Hipotermia adalah suatu kondisi di mana mekanisme tubuh untuk pengaturan suhu kesulitan mengatasi tekanan suhu dingin. [1] Hipotermia juga dapat didefinisikan sebagai suhu bagian dalam tubuh di bawah 35 °C. [2] Tubuh manusia mampu mengatur suhu pada zona termonetral, yaitu antara 36,5-37,5 °C. Di luar suhu tersebut, respon tubuh untuk ...

Hypothyroidism (also called underactive thyroid, low thyroid or hypothyreosis) is a disorder of the endocrine system in which the thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormones. [3]
Cold shock response is a series of neurogenic cardio-respiratory responses caused by sudden immersion in cold water . In cold water immersions, such as by falling through thin ice, cold shock response is perhaps the most common cause of death. [1] Also, the abrupt contact with very cold water may cause involuntary inhalation, which, if ...
