Absence or low individual and public risk
Hypothermia, not associated with low environmental temperature - what does this mean
Hypothermia not associated with low environmental temperature can occur due to a variety of medical conditions, such as sepsis, drug overdose, trauma, burns, and endocrine disorders. it can also occur due to excessive cold exposure, prolonged water immersion, or impaired thermoregulatory mechanisms.
What happens during the disease - hypothermia, not associated with low environmental temperature
Hypothermia not associated with low environmental temperatures can occur due to a variety of medical conditions, such as sepsis, endocrine disorders, and drug overdose. in these cases, the body's ability to regulate its own temperature is impaired, leading to a decrease in core body temperature. this can be further exacerbated by the body's inability to generate enough heat to compensate for the heat lost through the skin. in addition, hypothermia can be caused by decreased metabolism, decreased cardiac output, and decreased shivering, all of which can lead to a decrease in body temperature.
Clinical Pattern

How does a doctor diagnose
- Take a medical history and perform a physical examination to identify any underlying medical conditions or medications that may be causing hypothermia.
- Measure the patient's body temperature.
- Order a complete blood count and electrolyte panel.
- Order a chest X-ray to rule out any underlying lung diseases.
- Order an electrocardiogram (ECG) to evaluate heart rhythm.
- Order a thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) test to check for a thyroid disorder.
- Perform a urine analysis to check for infection.
- Perform a glucose tolerance test to check for diabetes.
- Order a CT scan or MRI to check for any underlying medical conditions.
- Order a lumbar puncture to check for any infections or tumors.
Treatment and Medical Assistance
Main goal of the treatment: To raise the body temperature of the patient and maintain it at a normal level.
- Administering warm fluids intravenously
- Using warm compresses to the patient's skin
- Placing the patient in a warm room and covering them with warm blankets
- Using a warm air mattress
- Using a heated humidifier
- Using forced warm air
- Using a heated water blanket
- Using an electric blanket
- Using a warming lamp
- Using a heated water bath
14 Days of Hospitalization Required
99 Hours Required for Outpatient Treatment
Hypothermia, not associated with low environmental temperature - Prevention
Hypothermia not associated with low environmental temperature can be prevented by maintaining a healthy lifestyle, eating a balanced diet, and staying active. additionally, it is important to dress appropriately for the weather, avoid alcohol and drugs, and stay hydrated.
