Normal human body temperature is at 98.6F (37 C). Hypothermia means patient's body temperature drops below 35C. As body temperature drops, heart, nervous system and other organs cannot work properly. If body temperature fell below 32C, the situation will become very serious and ultimately fatal. Exposure to cold weather or immersion in cold water is the most common cause of hypothermia. Warm the body of hypothermia patients is the main method for treatment of hypothermia.
