WHAT DOES HYPOTHERMIA MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Hypothermia

Hypothermia is a condition in which the body's core temperature drops below that required for normal metabolism and body functions. This is generally considered to be 35.0 °C. Body temperature is usually maintained near a constant level of 36.5–37.5 °C through biologic homeostasis or thermoregulation. If a person is exposed to cold, and their internal mechanisms cannot replenish the heat that is being lost, the body's core temperature falls, and characteristic symptoms occur such as shivering and mental confusion. One of the lowest documented body temperatures from which anyone has recovered was 13.0 °C in a near-drowning incident involving a 7-year-old girl in Sweden in December 2010. Hypothermia is the opposite of hyperthermia which is present in heat exhaustion and heat stroke.

Definition of hypothermia in the English dictionary

The definition of hypothermia in the dictionary is an abnormally low body temperature, as induced in the elderly by exposure to cold weather. Other definition of hypothermia is the intentional reduction of normal body temperature, as by ice packs, to reduce the patient's metabolic rate: performed esp in heart and brain surgery.
