Ep072 Hypothermia Recognition & Prevention

In this episode, we explore what hypothermia is, how to recognise it, and how to prevent it.

Hypothermia occurs when the body temperature drops below 35°C. It can happen suddenly — like falling into icy water — or gradually through prolonged exposure to cold weather, wet environments, or lying on cold surfaces without insulation.

You’ll learn:
🧊 The signs to look out for
🚶‍♂️ Who is most at risk
🧥 How to dress and prepare to avoid it
🌡️ Why even mild hypothermia can be dangerous

This episode is essential listening for outdoor adventurers, first aiders, and carers of young children or the elderly.

🎧 Tune in and get prepared to prevent the cold from taking hold.
