Definition(s)

  • Hypothermia refers to when the body's temperature falls below a temperature necessary to maintain normal metabolic functions. The normal body temperature is 37 degrees C and hypothermia occurs when the body drops to below 35 degrees C. Nearly 700 people die each year from hypothermia in the United States.
