In approximate order, hypothermia proceeds as follows:
Mild- Shivering
- hypertension, tachycardia, tachypnea
- vasoconstriction, especially in extremities
- Some confusion or disorientation
- Slowed movements
- Coordination failures
- Paleness
- Cyanotic blue in far distal extremities, where blood flow has ceased.
- Mental dysfunction: amnesia, aphasia (non-traumatic etiology).
- Tripping, hands become clumsy
- Metabolism shutdown (around core temp 86F).
- Decline in rational behavior, coordination.
- Stupor
- Bradycardia and hypotension, Bradypnea
- Cardiac arrythmia: V-tac, A-fib
- Major organ failure
- Clinical death
By definition, hypothermia occurs at core temps less than 95F.
