I froze to death in 1994. After losing control on an icy road, I hit my head on my car windshield sustaining a subarachnoid hemorrhage. I left the car, not understanding the extent of my injuries. Honestly it wasn't super cold, (just below freezing,) so I only had on a windbreaker. I left the car, and got lost trying to find help. I passed out from my concussion in the snow. I laid there for 6 hours. The state police did a poor search of the area, and had my car towed. When someone found me the next morning I was blue and lifeless, but still alive. They called 911, and a life flight helicopter was dispatched. Ground crew took my vitals, that said I was 20 degrees celsius (68 degrees Fahrenheit), was dead, and waived the copter off. A technician claims he then felt a pulse. I don't know if he did, or if he was just taking a chance on me, and they tried to get the copter to return. Still after it goes, it can't come back. So they had an ambulance be dispatched. I was definitely w/o a pulse when it arrived. They rushed me to a trauma unit, and tried to hook me up to a blood rewarming machine. Unfortunately the device was caked with dried old blood. So instead they gave me 100 blood transfusions, and brought me back. About a half an hour had passed. So not only had I had the hemorrhage, but I also suffered extreme hypoxia . I was placed into a month long drug induced coma, and my family was told to expect the worst. The effects of hypoxia are similar to a stroke. Healing is a lifelong process, and never ends. Improvements happen slower today, but still occur. The cold was a double edged sword. It killed me, bu also helped protect my brain from a more severe kind of injury.
I was found with a core tempature of °81 F, °27.2 C.. I was covering my body in snow to try to "cover up" from the -16 weather here in Minnesota.... honestly remember most that it was a peaceful feeling to just drift off.
Honestly covering up in that snow might’ve helped you out (unless you were naked) as an insulator. Good on you for getting out of that alive. Just going down to 89-91 degrees made me surprisingly drowsy and mentally slow.
ive had hypothermia this year in march, got it during a school trip. We went tobaggoning in an indoor snowdome. I only wore a black hoodie with grey warm trousers and trainers. we had three turns each. Third time, I crashed into glass wall while in tobaggon and I filpped twice and fell unconscious csuse I remember hitting my head twice. I woke up with the tobaggon on me and my hands were bruised. my entire body was cold even when we were on the bus. the teacher told me , my body was freezing. I went home and told my mum everything and she gave me hot chocolate and wrapped me in blankets and gave me a mini heater. I went doctors the next day because my head was still hurting and the teachers told me too go just incase, the hyperthermia had gone. I wemt doctors and they told me that I had a mild concussion
i got it all last night and still recovering. once u warm up and go outside u realize how cold it actually is and its terrifying to even think about. i was out in 16 degree weather for 8 hours, at some point i took my socks and shoes off bc i thought that would make my feet warmer.
I've had hypothermia bc I got pissed off and went walking in temps in the lower 40's-upper 30's without my coat.wasnt a great idea by the time I decided to call my mom my body temperature was 95°f and that was after being in the car with the heater on full blast for a solid 10-15minutes!
This is extremely useful, I would love to become an emergency doctor or a paramedic when I grow up, when I’m old enough I will get involved in kidet. For now I’m just doing lemme research
I was walking on a pathway to get food while at a school lunch break and it was 30 degrees celsius and i ended getting stage 3 hypothermia. It was really scary.
Thank you, Dr. Ebraheim. I used your video to introduce a story by Jack London. The main character traveled through the Yukon and experienced hypothermia.
I feel strange saying this, but I have a lower than average body temperature and heart-rate. If I suffered from hypothermia, would the parametres of it move down or do I just have a smaller window to be cold?
would you mind clarifying whether we can give warm drinks or hot drinks to moderate hypothermic patient or a severe hypothermic patient? Is it warm or hot or NONE at all? There is a huge body of conflicting information on this subject on the internet. No fluid, warm fluid, or hot fluid. Definitely not coffee as it is a vasodilator.
In the Andes Mountains I've seen people give warm milk but only when they are concious and somewhat coherent. Don't give them alcohol tho, I've seen people give Aguardiente and that's a terrible mistake.
I don't have muscles mass only recently i have a hub of chunky fat skin layer that were made to be like obesity ir overweight. My bed is invisibly infused to aircon so to perssive as cold room
Iam 25 years old, but my mom told me when i was baby i drop from bed during that moment she found me on the bed hiding under my mom said like 1 meters to ground and she said i dont cry that time and donw have money to she docter chech my head. Turn out when i was 12 years old when i run and my back sweat some times i can’t breathe good they thought me got asma, but right now when i was super cardio badminton my back feel cold and i cant sleep by heartrate goiing up when i take sleep it makes me find this hypoterima. What’s should i do?
My natural body temperature is 90-91° F... Kids am I normal? Can't find it ANYWHERE! Everywhere they just talk about the temporary "because of cold weather or wet clothes or blah blah" and nowhere about having permanent low temperature without some temporary mentioned reasons.
you are an android XD lol im kidding, you must go to the doctor for a checking, maybe you are taking your temperature the wrong way or you can have a failure in your hypotalamus
I swim in salt %35 salty water 24° river for 15 minutes in showered for 1 minute. Walk for about 15 minutes in 24 degrees air, than swim again for 5 minutes. And shower 18° shower for 1 minute. And dried up after 10 minutes. All in 60 minutes. I did not shivered, my tits got very sensitive., never felt that way before. I thought if i stay in water and expose to wind , and wet short, i would probably would get hypotermia, and get hurt in legs and chest. No pain is worth in water. My hand got red when I squeeze, make a fist. Explains the blood moving close to my skin.
How many abandoned soul's die from this every winter? Shouldn't you people be feeding...clothing...and taking these people out of danger? No I did not say "take them into bondage" or cage them.
There was a stupid community pool party thing I went and when swimming the pool wasn't heated so I got so cold I got out wrapped myself in my towel and couldn't stop shivering I was trying to put on a jumper properly my lips were grey even an hour later. It was horrible soz if I don't make sense it happened an hour or two ago......

81 Fahrenheit is a dangerously low temperature for a human, that is a sign of severe hypothermia

*hypothermia
@@JessicaHuangTheQuetzalKirin relax he just had a concussion.
Oh... I hope you're okay
The hypothermia may have actually lessoned the effects from your concussion. Cold has a protective effect on the brain. You are *very* lucky.
I got mild hypothermia this morning and recovered by sharing body heat and keeping my body warm.
i got it all last night and still recovering. once u warm up and go outside u realize how cold it actually is and its terrifying to even think about. i was out in 16 degree weather for 8 hours, at some point i took my socks and shoes off bc i thought that would make my feet warmer.
Thank u so much I have hypothermia right now and I was so delusional last night it scared me I thought I was going crazy you made me feel a lot better

This a great reminder for the super cold blast like -20 * degrees and be lower more than -20* or the wind chills - 30* degrees. In winter places
This is extremely useful, I would love to become an emergency doctor or a paramedic when I grow up, when I’m old enough I will get involved in kidet. For now I’m just doing lemme research
Being a paramedic is ass and doesn’t pay well. I’d rather become a nurse before becoming a paramedic.
I'm studying paramedic
Thanks! I really need this for my speaking grade to present to the class in 6th grade!
Thanks a lot for this video! Very laconic, clear and understandable presentation!

Great video! clear and concise.. Is there one for hyperthermia?

Eat more garlic
That's a really good question...
Its 3am and I randomly got obsessed with hypothermia (I live in the southwest)
Very Informative and interesting video.

You state in your video "Children have a smaller size and less body surface area." Chidren have a proportionally larger BSA not smaller.
Ngl this was disturbing, but I need to for a wattpad book so...
Thanks for great information

Can't find it ANYWHERE! Everywhere they just talk about the temporary "because of cold weather or wet clothes or blah blah" and nowhere about having permanent low temperature without some temporary mentioned reasons.

My body temps are betweem 94.9-97f is this normal?
Yes
I have hypothermia this morning...and it's happen a few time..
Im in Minnesota is it possible to ctb by hypothermia
I'm watching this video because in Pakistan, 21 people died of hypothermia today.
Kenneka Jenkins was drunking alcohol 🍷 and she died in the freezer so when was in the freezer as being drunk 😵 hypothermia happened
It’s funny how sometimes alcohol can increase risk of hypothermia and sometimes it can decrease it.
I have hypothermia when I waited in the cold at my school
good introduction
Energy drinks can helpful or danger for hypothermia patient...???????
danger. they would stress out even more the poor body
Alcohol can sometimes be helpful for them and sometimes it can be dangerous for them.
It was so cold when I slept I think I got this
I swim in salt %35 salty water 24° river for 15 minutes in showered for 1 minute. Walk for about 15 minutes in 24 degrees air, than swim again for 5 minutes. And shower 18° shower for 1 minute. And dried up after 10 minutes.
All in 60 minutes. I did not shivered, my tits got very sensitive., never felt that way before.

So to check if you have it, you can rip of your nail and if you bleed your fine and if it doesn't that means you have hypothermia
Not sure thats the smartest idea
@@jakesparrow5961 yeah...
my mum has rhemutoid arthritis
Eating in all meat carnivore diet has been proven to cure autoimmune disseases.
Om dying of stress
God and I'm jumping in an ice lake today??
👍👍👌
Study me
Who discovered Hypothermia ???
Jake Sparrow I suffered hypothermia
@@alicewong7206 were you shivering?
@@alicewong7206 same
Just drink a bottle of whiskey 🥃 and u be fine people.
alcohol causes vasodilation and you will lose even faster temperature, so NO.
😴
