Cold-related emergencies are typically the result of cold temperatures combined with a lack of insulation or protective clothing to deal with those temperatures.
Hypothermia begins to set in around the time the patient begins to shiver. And once the core body temperature drops below 95 degrees Fahrenheit, serious side effects ensue, including:
Dizziness
Delirium/confusion
Lethargy
Fatigue and weakness
Loss of consciousness
