Hypothermia was produced by the United States Coast Guard
in conjunction with the University of Alaska. This DVD graphically demonstrates
hypothermia and how easily it can occur on a fishing boat at sea in cold waters.
The DVD shows a man falling off the fishing boat into the cold sea and the steps
that are taken to identify if he has suffered hypothermia from exposure to the
cold water and the steps that need to be taken to treat it. It also discussed
prevention techniques. Although the example in this DVD is from a fishing
boat accident, hypothermia can happen to anyone who is out and about in a cold
climate and this is an excellent primer on the identification and treatment of
any stage of hypothermia - from mild to severe. Knowing the information in this
DVD can literally mean the difference between life and death in a cold weather
environment.
This DVD has a runtime of approximately 15 minutes. Here
are some sample images from the DVD
