Hypothermia is defined as a body core temperature below 35.0 °C (95.0 °F) in humans. [2] Symptoms depend on the temperature. In mild hypothermia, there is shivering and mental confusion. In moderate hypothermia, shivering stops and confusion increases. [3]
Hypothermia is another serious concern and occurs when your body temperature drops below 96 degrees. Perhaps surprisingly, hypothermia can occur in temperatures as warm as 60 degrees.
Targeted temperature management (TTM), previously known as therapeutic hypothermia or protective hypothermia, is an active treatment that tries to achieve and maintain a specific body temperature in a person for a specific duration of time in an effort to improve health outcomes during recovery after a period of stopped blood flow to the brain.

Hypothermia can set in when the core temperature drops to 35 °C (95 °F). [2] Hyperthermia can set in when the core body temperature rises above 37.5–38.3 °C (99.5–100.9 °F). [ 3 ] [ 4 ] Humans have adapted to living in climates where hypothermia and hyperthermia were common primarily through culture and technology, such as the use of ...
Hypothermia. When you’re exposed to cold temperatures for a period of time, you can be at risk for hypothermia, Dr. Biernbaum says.
The risk of hypothermia goes up once the temperature inside a home drops below 50 degrees for a prolonged period of time, experts say, so it’s important to keep your home as warm as possible.
While moderate hypothermia may be satisfactory for short surgeries, deep hypothermia (20 °C to 25 °C) affords protection for times of 30 to 40 minutes at the bottom of this temperature range. Profound hypothermia (< 14 °C) usually isn't used clinically. It is a subject of research in animals and human clinical trials.
Hypothermia: When your body temperature drops below 95 degrees. This can happen when your clothes become saturated with sweat, amplifying cold exposure. This can happen when your clothes become ...
