Cold injury syndrome - what does this mean

Cold injury syndrome is a condition that occurs when the body is exposed to cold temperatures for an extended period of time. it can cause tissue damage due to the constriction of blood vessels, decreased oxygen delivery, and increased metabolic demand. this can lead to cell death, tissue necrosis, and organ dysfunction.

What happens during the disease - cold injury syndrome

Cold injury syndrome is caused by exposure to extreme cold temperatures, resulting in damage to the body's tissues. this damage can occur when the body is exposed to temperatures below freezing for an extended period of time, leading to a decrease in the body's core temperature and a decrease in the body's ability to circulate blood. this can result in tissue damage, especially to the skin, leading to the development of cold injury syndrome.
