Hypothermia; California Air Resource Board (Carb) Label; California Prop 65 - Regal 3760 Owner's Manual

HYPOTHERMIA

Hypothermia is a condition where the body temperature
decreases because the body can't generate enough heat to
maintain its normal temperature. It can be serious and
usually occurs where victims have been immersed in water
(under 68 degrees) for periods of time. If you encounter a
possible hypothermia victim call for help on the radio and
get the person out of the water.
Symptoms are:
1. Shivering that if condition is advanced may stop.
2. Confusion, clumsiness or slurred speech.
3. Rigid muscles.
4. Semiconscious to unconscious.
Treat hypothermia by the following:
Remove wet clothing.
Monitor the victim' s pulse and breathing.
Rapidly apply heat to the body core by using blankets,
naked bodies or warm water.
Do not give the person any food or drink.
Do not warm the arms and legs. Warming of these
extremities can be fatal.
Follow up immediately with medical authorities!
