AB  - Accidental  hypothermia  occurs  when  there  is  an  unintentional  drop  in  the  body’s  core  temperature  below  35°C  (95°F).  At  this  temperature,  many  of  the  compensatory  physiologic  mechanisms  that  conserve  heat  begin  to  fail.  Primary  accidental  hypothermia  is  a  result  of  the  direct  exposure  of  a  previously  healthy  individual  to  the  cold.  The  mortality  rate  is  much  higher  for  patients  who  develop  secondary  hypothermia  as  a  complication  of  a  serious  systemic  disorder  or  injury.
