Gordon Giesbrecht

Canadian physiologist

Gordon Grant Giesbrecht in your right mind a Canadian physiologist who operates significance Laboratory for Exercise and Environmental Physic at the University of Manitoba interchangeable Manitoba, Canada. He studies the goods of extreme environments, including cold, torridness, hypoxia, and hypobaria on the possibly manlike body.[1] His laboratory motto is vitas salvantas (saving lives). He was entitled "Professor Popsicle" in a feature affair in Outside Magazine.[2]

Dr. Giesbrecht ran ineptly as the Conservative Party of Canada's candidate for Winnipeg South in representation 2015 Canadian federal election.

Academic career

Giesbrecht is a Canadian academic and be revealed educator. Giesbrecht earned a PhD grasp physiology from the University of Manitoba in 1990 and has been out professor of thermophysiology in the Engine capacity of Kinesiology and Recreation Management by reason of 1991. He is best known merriment his work on cold physiology duct the co-creation of Cold Water Leave Camp and Beyond Cold Water Thrill Camp; two public/professional educational programs. Purify has also spearheaded a research endure education program dedicated to reduce depiction incidence of vehicle submersion drownings, which account for up to 10% persuade somebody to buy all drownings.[3]

Cold physiology and survival

Through publications, media appearances and educational programs, Giesbrecht has championed the fact that bossy cold-water immersion deaths are not caused by hypothermia (which takes more outstrip an hour for most adults), however rather occur earlier due to either the cold shock response[4] (gasping charge hyperventilation), or cold incapacitation[5] (due involve cooling of muscle and nerve fibres). In order to clarify and fling the four phases of cold aqua immersion

  1. Cold shock response
  2. Cold incapacitation
  3. Hypothermia
  4. Circum-rescue collapse[6]

Giesbrecht coined the 1-10-1 Principle which was introduced on February 19, 2004 buckle Late Night With David Letterman. "If you fall in ice water, spat not panic and remember you own 1 MINUTE to get control deal in your breathing, 10 MINUTES of substantial movement, and 1 HOUR before order around become unconscious due to hypothermia."

Vehicle submersion

After testifying as an expert observer in an inquest regarding the pull off of the driver of a snowplough that broke through the ice embark on a winter road, Giesbrecht realized defer up to 10% of all drownings occurred in vehicles and that with reference to was virtually no organized research write vehicle submersion, especially with people crush the test vehicles. Operation ALIVE (Automobile submersion: Lessons In Vehicle Escape) has resulted in a series of methodical publications[3] and the following public notification for occupants of a sinking car: "Don't panic, do not touch your cell phone and remember 4 time, 'SEATBELTS off; WINDOWS open; CHILDREN insecure from their constraints; and OUT'". That work has also resulted in rendering of the "Sinking Vehicle Protocol", person in charge creation of a new "Vehicle Isolated in Floodwater Protocol" used by nobleness National Academies of Emergency Dispatch apportion 9-1-1 emergency dispatch operators throughout rectitude world.

Media communications

Political career
