Frostbite


 
  • For the movie Frostbite - go here: Frostbite (the movie)

    • Frostbite (congelatio in medical terminology) is the medical condition where damage is caused to skin and other tissues due to extreme cold. It is related, but not identical, to hypothermia. The early stages of frostbite are sometimes called "frostnip".

    Treatment

    Move the victim to a warm, safe area. If medical attention is easily reachable, wrap the affected areas with dressings and/or cloths. Also, if it is unlikely that the affected areas can be kept thawed, treatment should not be carried out due to the fact that thawing followed by a second round of freezing can cause more extensive and severe damage to the frostbitten areas. Otherwise, one should place the affected areas in warm (not hot) water, until the areas are soft and sensation has returned. Afterwards, wrap the areas in clean, sterile dressings and attempt to reach medical help (if necessary). If hypothermia has occurred, treat the hypothermia first.
