A person with frostbite on the extremities may also be subject to hypothermia (lowered body temperature). Check for hypothermia and treat those symptoms first. |
Frostbite is distinguishable by the hard, pale, and cold quality of the skin that has been exposed to the cold for a length of time. The area is likely to lack sensitivity to touch, although there may be an aching pain. As the area thaws, the flesh becomes red and very painful. |
Any part of the body may be affected by frostbite; but hands, feet, nose and ears are the most vulnerable. If only the skin and underlying tissues are damaged, recovery may be complete. However, if blood vessels are affected, the damage is permanent and gangrene can follow which may require amputation of the affected part. |
Upon warming, it is common to experience intense pain and tingling or burning in the affected area. |
Frostbite occurs when the skin and body tissues are exposed to cold temperature for a prolonged period of time. Hands, feet, noses, and ears are most likely to be affected. |
Although anyone who is exposed to freezing cold for a prolonged period of time can get frostbite, people who are taking beta-blockers, which decrease the flow of blood to the skin, are particularly susceptible. So are people with peripheral vascular disease (a disorder of the arteries). Other things that may increase the risk of frostbite include: smoking, windy weather (which increases the rate of heat loss from skin), diabetes, peripheral neuropathy, and Raynaud's phenomenon. |
Frostnip and frostbite are two types of cold injuries that are related to the amount of heat circulating to peripheral areas of the body. These include fingers, toes, ears, and the nose. Frostnip is essentially the freezing of the top layers of skin; it is generally reversible. Frostbite is more severe because freezing occurs through all layers of skin and muscle and tissue may freeze. |
| There are two basic types of frostbite: |
-
Superficial frostbite primarily involves injury to the skin and the tissue just beneath the skin.
-
Deep frostbite occurs when the tissues below the skin freeze. This may include the tissues of the muscles and bones.
|
Below minus 10°C, any tissue that feels numb for more than a few minutes may become frostbitten. Although all climbers are well aware of having suffered from numb cold feet or hands for hours at a time with no ill effects, it is important to realise that while being frost-bitten the subject is senses no more than this familiar numbness. It is wise therefore to have some idea of the temperatures in unfamiliar terrain: many miniature portable thermometers are available, so clip one on your sack or outer jacket zipper tab. If you feel the numbness and the temperature is particularly low it's time to act - flexing the fingers and toes, stamping the feet, clapping your hands or placing them in the armpits or groin should all bring back some sensation. If not, assume some degree of frostbite (probably frostnip) and perform more specific re-warming with warm water as below. |
In early (superficial) frostbite in the unthawed state, the skin is yellow-grey, painless, numb and leathery to the touch - pain occurs as re-warming takes place. In deep frostbite, the tissue is hard, white and obviously frozen like a piece of chicken from a freezer, and medical advice must be sought as soon as possible. |
