The freezing, or effect of a freezing, of some part of the body, as the ears, fingers, toes, or nose. Severe frostbite can lead to the loss of fingers or toes.
Inflammation of the body, especially hands, face and feet, caused by exposure to extreme cold. GA General Assistant, although this is generally used to refer to a Field GA. Field GAs are very experienced mountaineers who help us to travel in the Antarctic. For the recreational field trips during the winter at Halley we have one GA along with three other people.
An inflammation of the skin, especially of the feet, face and hands, caused by exposure to extreme cold.
damage to body tissue as a result of freezing
A serious condition that takes place in extremely cold conditions, when part of your body freezes. This usually happens to the face or other unprotected areas.
Damage to tissue as a result of exposure to freezing temperatures.
destruction of tissue by freezing and characterized by tingling, blistering and possibly gangrene
a severe reaction to cold exposure that can permanently damage its victims
The freezing of exposed parts of the body, causing local damage to the tissues.
damage to body tissue in a specific part of the body resulting from exposure to cold
the sharp, painful sensations that result from severe cold injury.
is cold, hard, anesthetic, frozen tissue. The tissue has severe cellular water loss and ischemia. Frostbite may progress to neuropathy and gangrene. It may also contribute to the acquisition of peripheral vascular disease in the homeless.
Injury to skin and/or soft tissue as a result of overexposure to freezing temperatures.
The partial freezing of exposed parts of the body, causing injury to the skin and sometimes to deeper tissues.
Damage to the tissues from exposure to temperature below 32 degrees Fahrenheit (0 degrees C). An initial pins and needles sensation is followed by numbness. After that, the skin appears white, cold and hard, and finally becomes red and swollen.
Damage to tissues from freezing due to the formation of ice crystals within cells, rupturing the cells and leading to cell death. See the entire definition of Frostbite
skin and underlying flesh freezes from cold temperatures and lack of blood circulation body extremities such as feet, hands, and exposed facial features (ears, nose, chin) are most susceptible affected areas look pasty, are hard to touch, and lack feeling while frozen get to a hospital immediately try not to use or to thaw the affected part
What happens when parts of your body get so cold they can freeze. If your fingers get frostbite they will usually change color and feel numb. Serious frostbite can do permanent damage to your body.
Dead tissue as a result of extreme cold
Damage to tissues resulting from exposure to extreme cold or contact with extremely cold liquids or objects
the freezing or local effect of partial freezing of some part of the body
Damage to body tissue caused by that tissue being frozen. Frostbite causes a loss of feeling and a white or pale appearance in extremities, such as fingers, toes, ear lobes, or the tip of the nose. If symptoms are detected, get medical help immediately! If you must wait for help, slowly warm affected areas.
damage to the skin from freezing due to prolonged exposure to cold temperatures, usually below 32° F.
Injury caused to skin or other tissue by very cold materials. The medical consequences are similar to those caused by burns.
damage to local tissue from exposure to extreme cold
an injury to the body caused by freezing.
