Hypothermia or rapid cooling of the overboard victim accounts for many fatalities at sea,
even in temperate climates. A decrease of less than 10 degrees F (5 degrees C) in body core
temperature can occur within 15 minutes resulting in confusion, incoordination, weakness,
hallucination and coma - all complicating rescue efforts. Treatment of moderate hypother-
mia requires immediate measures: dry victim thoroughly, passive heat transfer from others’
body heat, pile with blankets, insist on immobility and warming long after victim feels nor-
mal. No liquids, stimulants, alcohol or hot foods. Assess for injuries. Inform emergency
facilities - evacuation and hospitalization may be advised. Ref: Current Medical Diagnosis
and Treatment.
