海上遇难的种种自救（Self help at sea） All the victims of the sea rescue * source: Encyclopedia of knowledge * category: Science and technology education | * popularity: 77 Zero share In the ocean on a wide expanse of mist-covered waters ships plying a ship. But for various reasons, people drowning victims. Man overboard, at any time may be drowned. Even with floating sea rescue equipment, life still suffer from hunger and thirst, cold, high temperature and other threats. So, who died at sea after how to fight the harsh environment to survive? To resist the invasion of cold Foreign research shows that drowning peoples survival rate and temperature of sea water and sea drift is closely related to the time. The water temperature is low, people in the water to support the shorter time, higher mortality rate. When the water temperature is 0 degrees centigrade, drowning in the water can only support 15 minutes. When the water temperature at 2.5 degrees centigrade, water can support 30 minutes. When the water temperature is 5 degrees centigrade, water can support 3 hours. When the water temperature at 15 to 20 degrees, water can support more than 10 hours. When the water temperature is 25 degrees centigrade, water can persist in one day or more. Scientists believe that in the cold water, the main causes of deaths is a large loss of body heat. For example, a normal weight of about 60 kg of medium stature, suddenly dipped to 10 DEG C water, then from the center to the surface of the skin between the body temperature is 28 DEG C, if his body surface area of 1.6 square meters, while the loss of heat per hour will be 300 ~ 400 cards more than usual. The heat loss increase, will undoubtedly make the center of the body temperature decreased rapidly. When the temperature decreases from 0.6 to 1 degrees, the body begins to shiver. When the temperature drops to below 33 DEG C, shivering will gradually disappear, heat production will stop. Before the general down to the temperature, water is a
