Exposure to excessive cold of man-made origin - what does this mean
Exposure to excessive cold of man-made origin occurs when a person is exposed to cold temperatures for a prolonged period of time, such as in a cold storage facility or during an outdoor activity in cold weather. this can lead to hypothermia, which is a dangerous decrease in the body's core temperature that can cause organ failure and death.
What happens during the disease - exposure to excessive cold of man-made origin
The pathogenesis of exposure to excessive cold of man-made origin is a multi-faceted process. it begins with a decrease in the body's core temperature, leading to a decrease in metabolic rate. this decrease in metabolic rate can lead to a decrease in oxygen delivery to the cells, which can lead to hypoxia and tissue damage. additionally, prolonged exposure to cold can lead to the development of frostbite, which can cause permanent damage to the skin and underlying tissue. finally, prolonged exposure to cold can lead to an increased risk of infection due to the body's decreased ability to fight off pathogens.
