THE PROBLEM: HYPOTHERMIA Under normal circumstances, the human body maintains a steady internal (core) temperature ranging from 36.6°C to 37.5°C (97.9°F-99.5°F). HYPOTHERMIA is a core body temperature of less than 36°C (96.8°F). Medical facilities and Emergency Medical Services are constantly battling the clinical implications of hypothermia and its adverse affects on patient recovery, outcomes and the cost of treatment. 1.
