Hipotermia (del griego hypo que significa «debajo» y therme que significa «calor») es el descenso involuntario de la temperatura corporal por debajo de 35 ° C (95 ° F) medida con termómetro en el recto o el esófago.
La hipotermia se produce cuando la temperatura del cuerpo cae por debajo de 95 ºF (35 ºC). Cuando desciende la temperatura corporal, el corazón, el sistema nervioso y otros órganos no pueden funcionar normalmente. Si no se trata, la hipotermia puede provocar una insuficiencia del corazón y del sistema respiratorio total y eventualmente a la muerte.

Hypothermia is a potentially life-threatening, cold-related emergency that occurs when the body loses heat faster than it can produce heat, causing the core body temperature to fall below 95° F (35° C). Typically, the person experiences exposed to cold air temperatures, cold water or both.
Targeted temperature management ( TTM) previously known as therapeutic hypothermia or protective hypothermia is an active treatment that tries to achieve and maintain a specific body temperature in a person for a specific duration of time in an effort to improve health outcomes during recovery after a period of stopped blood flow to the brain.
