We all have heard the news about someone\npulled out from freezing water after an unrevivable timeframe. More or less,\npeople survive and make full recoveries, miraculously. Stella Berndtsson, a\n7-year-old girl from Sweden, currently holds the record for having survived the\ncoldest body temperature and still surviving. When she fell into the sea on the\nisland of Lyr, Stella was found lifeless and without a heartbeat. Stella\u2019s core\nbody temperature was down to 13.2\u00b0 C. Stella has now made a full recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Stella is one of those people who have\nsurvived even without consuming oxygen for an extended period. Now you must be\nwondering if hypothermia<\/strong> makes this\npossible? If we put this in simple words, hypothermia<\/strong>\ndecreases our metabolic rate while reducing a few other destructive processes\nthat go inside your brain when your brain is without the oxygen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Treatment of medical conditions with hypothermia<\/strong> is not something new. It was\nrecommended in an ancient Egyptian medical text 5000 years ago. This Biblical\ntext was called the Edwin Smith Papyrus. Besides treating the sick and injured,\nhypothermia<\/strong>\u2019s brain protection has\nallowed people to survive in some extreme situations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As we all know, the human body\u2019s average\ntemperature is around 37\u00b0C. Hypothermia<\/strong>\nin the human body begins when the body temperature comes to 35\u00b0 C. Let us tell\nyou that there are four stages of hypothermia<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At stage 1, the body\u2019s temperature ranges\nbetween 32\u00b0 C – 35\u00b0 C. At this stage, the human body, tends to shiver, which\nincreases the production of heat in the body. Your body enters stage 2 when the\ntemperature ranges between 28\u00b0 C – 32\u00b0 C. At this temperature, your body will\nstop shivering. This stage makes your brain\u2019s electrical activity abnormal. After\nthis, in the last two steps, your body becomes unconscious, and the heart stops\ncompletely. But as discussed above, in some cases, people can completely\nrecover from hypothermia<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We all have heard the news about someone pulled out from freezing water after an unrevivable timeframe.
