A patient who was found in the snow with impaired consciousness, no shivering, and a body ...

A patient who was found in the snow with impaired consciousness, no shivering, and a body temperature of 28°C is being transported by life flight helicopter to a hospital with rewarming resources. The patient warms to 30°C en route to the hospital, and the nurse cautions the team to move the patient gently, explaining that at this body temperature:

▸ the bones are brittle and can fracture easily.

▸ the muscles become rigid and can cause fractures and joint injury.

▸ the skin is fragile and tears easily.

▸ the heart is irritable and susceptible to ventricular fibrillation.
