Hypothermia: Classification

Hypothermia is classified based on core temperature measurements and presenting symptoms. It is often encountered in a pre-hospital environment, where it is classified based on presenting symptom. In a hospital setting, the most accurate diagnosis is a core body temperature measurement.

The Swiss staging system is a screening tool used to classify hypothermia based on presenting symptoms, such as alertness, shivering and temperature. It is valuable in a pre-hospital environment when obtaining a core body temperature measurement is more difficult."
