You can help Wikipedia by expanding it.Afterdrop is a continued cooling of core temperature during the initial stages of rewarming from hypothermia.
Afterdrop is attributed to the return of cold blood from extremities to the core due to peripheral vasodilatation, thus causing a further decrease of deep body temperature.
[1] However a second theory explains afterdrop as a side effect of conductive heat transfer.
Until the gradient is reversed, further heat transfer occurs from the warmer core to cooler peripheral tissues.
"[2] In severe cases, afterdrop can lead to post-rescue collapse,[3] but has not been shown to be of any clinical importance in rewarming the hypothermic patient.
