Why Is Hypothermia More Likely When Injured Under What Circumstances Can A Person Die Of Hypothermia After Falling Asleep In An Ordinary Bath?

Under what circumstances can a person die of hypothermia after falling asleep in an ordinary bath? - why is hypothermia more likely when injured

One of my friends asked if it was safely in a bathtub full of sleep.
First found drowned - but quickly realized that you wake up, shortly after the inhalation of water, drowning is no serious risk of accidental death.
Be noted, however hypothermia. I read some stories about both this scenario and death by hyperthermia in a spa. The latter seems much more a constant source of heat as would be the first case, only water to cool to room temperature. I also believe that prolonged exposure at temperatures typical for the Whirlpool air could also lead heat stroke (although perhaps more time would be together), while prolonged exposure to air temperature for the environment (without clothes) not posing a serious threat to healthy people. However, in the dark, I decided to post this question here.

I've heard many, many people drown in the bathtub after falling asleep, I can not think of an example of someone who died of hypothermia in the bathtub. I began to tremble violently, because you wake up, unless drugged. I think your friend has a greater chance of dying, drowning, hypothermia.

Wrong.


Hypothermia is a serious risk. You can in a room of 85 degrees.

I think it would be more likely to die of hypothermia, heat stroke in a bathtub. I'm not really possible to not sleep in the bathtub!

should be below -10 degrees Celsius for any damage, and I would sleep with an abnormal amount of time.

I wanted to or could in the bathtub. WTF? I stayed in the shower with the water before hitting my face, and nothing happened.

Your question of hypothermia, and that cold, but also refers to hypothermia, so heat. Death may result from both ends. From the film Titanic, p [people died of hypothermia Exhibitor term cold water. That when in the water more than 5 hours. Sufficient time to lower the body temperature. However, a person can die from heatstroke extended stay in a warm bath to heat up. As always, a heat stroke in summer, when discharge reaches about 100 degrees.
