Hypothermia
Hypothermia is the drop in body temperature below normal levels, which occurs when the body loses heat faster than it can produce it, usually from exposure to cold.
Warning signs: intense shivering, confusion, drowsiness, slow speech, clumsiness in movements and, in advanced cases, loss of alertness.
Who is most vulnerable: older adults, young children and those exposed to cold environments or submerged in water for a prolonged time.
Which specialist treats it? The emergency physician and the internist care for cases of hypothermia, especially when they are moderate or severe. If a person shows confusion and shivering after being exposed to cold, it is necessary to seek medical help immediately and keep them warm in the meantime.
