Without proper first aid, hypothermia can lead to death. This blog post will explain how to respond to hypothermia commonly experienced by hikers and people from countries with snow or winter. First, we will provide an overview of the condition, followed by information on diagnosing and treating it. Finally, we will discuss the essential\nfirst aid response to hypothermia\n.\nWhat is it like to suffer from hypothermia?\nWhen a person suffers from\nhypothermia\n, they will experience the following signs and symptoms:\nConfusion\nDrowsiness\nPale and cold skin\nSlowed breathing or heart rate\nShivering that cannot be controlled (although at extremely low body temperatures, shivering may stop)\nWeakness and loss of coordination\nEffect on your Body\nUp to \n90%\nof the heat you lose leaves your body through your skin in cold weather\n. The rest comes out of your lungs when you breathe out. Radiation is the primary way heat is lost through the skin, and the process speeds up when the skin is exposed to wind or water. If you are cold because you are in cold water, you can lose heat 25 times faster than in the same temperature air.\nThe hypothalamus is the part of the brain that controls body temperature. It does this by setting off processes that heat and cool the body. When exposed to cold temperatures, shivering is a protective way for muscles to work to make heat.\nEffect on your Mind\nMost of your body heat comes from the work of your heart and liver. But as the body’s core temperature drops, these organs make less heat, so they “shut down” to protect the brain and keep the body warm. Low body temperature can make the brain work, breathe, and beat more slowly.\nPeople may become confused and exhausted, making it difficult for them to comprehend what is happening and make rational decisions about safely moving out of harm’s way.\nHow do you help someone with hypothermia if no aid is around?\nAnyone experiencing hypothermia symptoms should seek medical assistance right away. It is imperative to seek immediate professional help for someone experiencing hypothermia. Call the local emergency hotline or rush to the hospital to get treated. If no aid is available, there are still limited ways to help which can improve the casualty’s condition. Until assistance arrives, the CDC Trusted Source suggests:\nIf possible, move the person to an area that is warm and dry or with a shield or roof above the head, protecting from the sun, rain, cold, etc.\nRemoving any wet clothing from the person\nCovering the person with an electric blanket, if one is accessible, or with dry layers of towels, clothing, or blankets if one is not available\nHaving the person drink a warm beverage, excluding alcohol, if they are not unconscious\nAvoid moving or jostling the person, as doing so can cause a fatal heart rhythm abnormality.\nHaving skin-to-skin contact with another individual to warm them up and increase their body temperature\nUnconscious\nA person suffering from severe hypothermia may be unconscious and not appear to have a pulse or be breathing. In this scenario, handle the person carefully and get emergency aid immediately. Even if the victim looks to be dead, perform\nCPR\n. CPR should be continued until the victim responds or medical help arrives. While performing CPR, keep the person warm. Hypothermia victims who appear to be dead can be successfully resuscitated in some situations.\nHow to deliver first aid to hypothermia?\nCall 911 or the local emergency number anytime you suspect someone has hypothermia. Give\nfirst aid\nwhile waiting for emergency help.\nTake the following steps if you think someone has hypothermia:\nIf the individual is exhibiting any symptoms of hypothermia, including but not limited to confusion or difficulties thinking, dial 911 immediately.\nIf the person is unconscious, examine their airway, breathing, and circulation. If necessary, start performing chest compressions and\nrescue breathing\n as soon as their breathing rate drops below six breaths per minute.\nBring the individual indoors where it is more comfortable, and cover them with warm blankets. If going indoors is not an option, move the individual away from the wind and cover them with a blanket to protect them from the chilly ground. Wrap your blanket around the person’s head and neck to retain body heat.\nThose who have suffered from acute hypothermia should be removed from the cold environment as quickly and with as little exertion as possible. This helps prevent heat from being transferred from the core to the muscles, which is beneficial. On the other hand, physical exercise is believed to be safe for a person who is just hypothermic to a very mild degree. However, as soon as you are inside, you should change out of any wet or restrictive clothing and into dry clothing.\nPut the person at ease. If necessary, use the heat from your body as an additional source of warmth. Warm compresses should be applied to the groin, chest wall, and neck.\nWarm fluids that have been sweetened but do not include alcohol should be given to the person to help them warm up if they are conscious and can swallow readily.\nKeep them company until medical assistance arrives.\nWhat Not to Do?\nThe following are precautions of what not to do to someone suffering from hypothermia. Please remember them, as you can’t tell when an emergency can occur. It’s always helpful to know these things.\nDO NOT automatically presume that a person who is discovered lying still, motionless and exposed to the cold is already dead.\nDirect heat sources (such as hot water, a heating pad, or a heat lamp) should NOT be used to warm the individual up.\nDO NOT give the individual any alcoholic beverages.\nConclusion\nLearning\nhow to administer CPR\nand first aid is an important life skill that can help you save someone’s life in an emergency.

Without proper first aid, hypothermia can lead to death. This blog post will explain how to respond to hypothermia commonly experienced by hikers and people from countries with snow or winter. First, we will provide an overview of the condition, followed by information on diagnosing and treating it. Finally, we will discuss the essential **[first aid response to hypothermia](https:\/\/cprfirstaid.com.au\/the-best-ways-to-prevent-and-treat-hypothermia\/)**.\n\n# **What is it like to suffer from hypothermia?**\nWhen a person suffers from **[hypothermia](https:\/\/medlineplus.gov\/ency\/article\/000038.htm)**, they will experience the following signs and symptoms:\n\n- Confusion\n- Drowsiness\n- Pale and cold skin\n- Slowed breathing or heart rate\n- Shivering that cannot be controlled (although at extremely low body temperatures, shivering may stop)\n- Weakness and loss of coordination\n## Effect on your Body\nUp to [**90%**](https:\/\/www.webmd.com\/a-to-z-guides\/what-is-hypothermia) of the heat you lose leaves your body through your skin in cold weather. The rest comes out of your lungs when you breathe out. Radiation is the primary way heat is lost through the skin, and the process speeds up when the skin is exposed to wind or water. If you are cold because you are in cold water, you can lose heat 25 times faster than in the same temperature air.\n\nThe hypothalamus is the part of the brain that controls body temperature. It does this by setting off processes that heat and cool the body. When exposed to cold temperatures, shivering is a protective way for muscles to work to make heat.\n\n## Effect on your Mind\nMost of your body heat comes from the work of your heart and liver. But as the body’s core temperature drops, these organs make less heat, so they “shut down” to protect the brain and keep the body warm. Low body temperature can make the brain work, breathe, and beat more slowly.\n\nPeople may become confused and exhausted, making it difficult for them to comprehend what is happening and make rational decisions about safely moving out of harm’s way.\n\n# How do you help someone with hypothermia if no aid is around?\nAnyone experiencing hypothermia symptoms should seek medical assistance right away. It is imperative to seek immediate professional help for someone experiencing hypothermia. Call the local emergency hotline or rush to the hospital to get treated. If no aid is available, there are still limited ways to help which can improve the casualty’s condition. Until assistance arrives, the CDC Trusted Source suggests:\n\n- If possible, move the person to an area that is warm and dry or with a shield or roof above the head, protecting from the sun, rain, cold, etc.\n- Removing any wet clothing from the person\n- Covering the person with an electric blanket, if one is accessible, or with dry layers of towels, clothing, or blankets if one is not available\n- Having the person drink a warm beverage, excluding alcohol, if they are not unconscious\n- Avoid moving or jostling the person, as doing so can cause a fatal heart rhythm abnormality.\n- Having skin-to-skin contact with another individual to warm them up and increase their body temperature\n## Unconscious\nA person suffering from severe hypothermia may be unconscious and not appear to have a pulse or be breathing. In this scenario, handle the person carefully and get emergency aid immediately. Even if the victim looks to be dead, perform **CPR**. CPR should be continued until the victim responds or medical help arrives. While performing CPR, keep the person warm. Hypothermia victims who appear to be dead can be successfully resuscitated in some situations.\n\n# How to deliver first aid to hypothermia?\nCall 911 or the local emergency number anytime you suspect someone has hypothermia. Give **[first aid](https:\/\/medlineplus.gov\/ency\/article\/000038.htm)** while waiting for emergency help. Take the following steps if you think someone has hypothermia:\n\n1. If the individual is exhibiting any symptoms of hypothermia, including but not limited to confusion or difficulties thinking, dial 911 immediately.\n2. If the person is unconscious, examine their airway, breathing, and circulation. If necessary, start performing chest compressions and [**rescue breathing**](https:\/\/medlineplus.gov\/ency\/article\/000010.htm) as soon as their breathing rate drops below six breaths per minute.\n3. Bring the individual indoors where it is more comfortable, and cover them with warm blankets. If going indoors is not an option, move the individual away from the wind and cover them with a blanket to protect them from the chilly ground. Wrap your blanket around the person’s head and neck to retain body heat.\n4. Those who have suffered from acute hypothermia should be removed from the cold environment as quickly and with as little exertion as possible. This helps prevent heat from being transferred from the core to the muscles, which is beneficial. On the other hand, physical exercise is believed to be safe for a person who is just hypothermic to a very mild degree. However, as soon as you are inside, you should change out of any wet or restrictive clothing and into dry clothing.\n5. Put the person at ease. If necessary, use the heat from your body as an additional source of warmth. Warm compresses should be applied to the groin, chest wall, and neck.\n6. Warm fluids that have been sweetened but do not include alcohol should be given to the person to help them warm up if they are conscious and can swallow readily.\n7. Keep them company until medical assistance arrives.\n## What Not to Do?\nThe following are precautions of what not to do to someone suffering from hypothermia. Please remember them, as you can’t tell when an emergency can occur. It’s always helpful to know these things.\n\n- DO NOT automatically presume that a person who is discovered lying still, motionless and exposed to the cold is already dead.\n- Direct heat sources (such as hot water, a heating pad, or a heat lamp) should NOT be used to warm the individual up.\n- DO NOT give the individual any alcoholic beverages.\n# Conclusion\nLearning **how to administer CPR** and first aid is an important life skill that can help you save someone’s life in an emergency.

Without proper first aid, hypothermia can lead to death. This blog post will explain how to respond to hypothermia commonly experienced by hikers and people from countries with snow or winter. First, we will provide an overview of the condition, followed by information on diagnosing and treating it. Finally, we will discuss the essential **[first aid response to hypothermia](https:\/\/cprfirstaid.com.au\/the-best-ways-to-prevent-and-treat-hypothermia\/)**.\n\n## **What is it like to suffer from hypothermia?**\nWhen a person suffers from **[hypothermia](https:\/\/medlineplus.gov\/ency\/article\/000038.htm)**, they will experience the following signs and symptoms:\n\n- Confusion\n- Drowsiness\n- Pale and cold skin\n- Slowed breathing or heart rate\n- Shivering that cannot be controlled (although at extremely low body temperatures, shivering may stop)\n- Weakness and loss of coordination\n## Effect on your Body\nUp to [**90%**](https:\/\/www.webmd.com\/a-to-z-guides\/what-is-hypothermia) of the heat you lose leaves your body through your skin in cold weather. The rest comes out of your lungs when you breathe out. Radiation is the primary way heat is lost through the skin, and the process speeds up when the skin is exposed to wind or water. If you are cold because you are in cold water, you can lose heat 25 times faster than in the same temperature air.\n\nThe hypothalamus is the part of the brain that controls body temperature. It does this by setting off processes that heat and cool the body. When exposed to cold temperatures, shivering is a protective way for muscles to work to make heat.\n\n## Effect on your Mind\nMost of your body heat comes from the work of your heart and liver. But as the body’s core temperature drops, these organs make less heat, so they “shut down” to protect the brain and keep the body warm. Low body temperature can make the brain work, breathe, and beat more slowly.\n\nPeople may become confused and exhausted, making it difficult for them to comprehend what is happening and make rational decisions about safely moving out of harm’s way.\n\n## How do you help someone with hypothermia if no aid is around?\nAnyone experiencing hypothermia symptoms should seek medical assistance right away. It is imperative to seek immediate professional help for someone experiencing hypothermia. Call the local emergency hotline or rush to the hospital to get treated. If no aid is available, there are still limited ways to help which can improve the casualty’s condition. Until assistance arrives, the CDC Trusted Source suggests:\n\n- If possible, move the person to an area that is warm and dry or with a shield or roof above the head, protecting from the sun, rain, cold, etc.\n- Removing any wet clothing from the person\n- Covering the person with an electric blanket, if one is accessible, or with dry layers of towels, clothing, or blankets if one is not available\n- Having the person drink a warm beverage, excluding alcohol, if they are not unconscious\n- Avoid moving or jostling the person, as doing so can cause a fatal heart rhythm abnormality.\n- Having skin-to-skin contact with another individual to warm them up and increase their body temperature\n## Unconscious\nA person suffering from severe hypothermia may be unconscious and not appear to have a pulse or be breathing. In this scenario, handle the person carefully and get emergency aid immediately. Even if the victim looks to be dead, perform **CPR**. CPR should be continued until the victim responds or medical help arrives. While performing CPR, keep the person warm. Hypothermia victims who appear to be dead can be successfully resuscitated in some situations.\n\n## How to deliver first aid to hypothermia?\nCall 911 or the local emergency number anytime you suspect someone has hypothermia. Give **[first aid](https:\/\/medlineplus.gov\/ency\/article\/000038.htm)** while waiting for emergency help. Take the following steps if you think someone has hypothermia:\n\n1. If the individual is exhibiting any symptoms of hypothermia, including but not limited to confusion or difficulties thinking, dial 911 immediately.\n2. If the person is unconscious, examine their airway, breathing, and circulation. If necessary, start performing chest compressions and [**rescue breathing**](https:\/\/medlineplus.gov\/ency\/article\/000010.htm) as soon as their breathing rate drops below six breaths per minute.\n3. Bring the individual indoors where it is more comfortable, and cover them with warm blankets. If going indoors is not an option, move the individual away from the wind and cover them with a blanket to protect them from the chilly ground. Wrap your blanket around the person’s head and neck to retain body heat.\n4. Those who have suffered from acute hypothermia should be removed from the cold environment as quickly and with as little exertion as possible. This helps prevent heat from being transferred from the core to the muscles, which is beneficial. On the other hand, physical exercise is believed to be safe for a person who is just hypothermic to a very mild degree. However, as soon as you are inside, you should change out of any wet or restrictive clothing and into dry clothing.\n5. Put the person at ease. If necessary, use the heat from your body as an additional source of warmth. Warm compresses should be applied to the groin, chest wall, and neck.\n6. Warm fluids that have been sweetened but do not include alcohol should be given to the person to help them warm up if they are conscious and can swallow readily.\n7. Keep them company until medical assistance arrives.\n## What Not to Do?\nThe following are precautions of what not to do to someone suffering from hypothermia. Please remember them, as you can’t tell when an emergency can occur. It’s always helpful to know these things.\n\n- DO NOT automatically presume that a person who is discovered lying still, motionless and exposed to the cold is already dead.\n- Direct heat sources (such as hot water, a heating pad, or a heat lamp) should NOT be used to warm the individual up.\n- DO NOT give the individual any alcoholic beverages.\n## Conclusion\nLearning **how to administer CPR** and first aid is an important life skill that can help you save someone’s life in an emergency. If you want to learn more about how to respond to a hypothermia emergency or any other first-aid-related issue, we recommend booking a **[first aid course](https:\/\/cprfirstaid.com.au\/courses\/provide-first-aid-course\/)** or **[CPR course](https:\/\/cprfirstaid.com.au\/courses\/cpr-refresher\/)** at CPRFA.

Hypothermia is a dangerous condition that can occur in cold environments. Without proper first aid, hypothermia can lead to death. This blog post will explain how to respond to hypothermia commonly experienced by hikers and people from countries with snow or winter. First, we will provide an overview of the condition, followed by information on diagnosing and treating it. Finally, we will discuss the essential [first aid response to hypothermia](https://cprfirstaid.com.au/the-best-ways-to-prevent-and-treat-hypothermia/). # What is it like to suffer from hypothermia? When a person suffers from [hypothermia](https://medlineplus.gov/ency/article/000038.htm), they will experience the following signs and symptoms: - Confusion - Drowsiness - Pale and cold skin - Slowed breathing or heart rate - Shivering that cannot be controlled (although at extremely low body temperatures, shivering may stop) - Weakness and loss of coordination ## Effect on your Body Up to [90%](https://www.webmd.com/a-to-z-guides/what-is-hypothermia) of the heat you lose leaves your body through your skin in cold weather. The rest comes out of your lungs when you breathe out. Radiation is the primary way heat is lost through the skin, and the process speeds up when the skin is exposed to wind or water. If you are cold because you are in cold water, you can lose heat 25 times faster than in the same temperature air. The hypothalamus is the part of the brain that controls body temperature. It does this by setting off processes that heat and cool the body. When exposed to cold temperatures, shivering is a protective way for muscles to work to make heat. ## Effect on your Mind Most of your body heat comes from the work of your heart and liver. But as the body’s core temperature drops, these organs make less heat, so they “shut down” to protect the brain and keep the body warm. Low body temperature can make the brain work, breathe, and beat more slowly. People may become confused and exhausted, making it difficult for them to comprehend what is happening and make rational decisions about safely moving out of harm’s way. # How do you help someone with hypothermia if no aid is around? Anyone experiencing hypothermia symptoms should seek medical assistance right away. It is imperative to seek immediate professional help for someone experiencing hypothermia. Call the local emergency hotline or rush to the hospital to get treated. If no aid is available, there are still limited ways to help which can improve the casualty’s condition. Until assistance arrives, the CDC Trusted Source suggests: - If possible, move the person to an area that is warm and dry or with a shield or roof above the head, protecting from the sun, rain, cold, etc. - Removing any wet clothing from the person - Covering the person with an electric blanket, if one is accessible, or with dry layers of towels, clothing, or blankets if one is not available - Having the person drink a warm beverage, excluding alcohol, if they are not unconscious - Avoid moving or jostling the person, as doing so can cause a fatal heart rhythm abnormality. - Having skin-to-skin contact with another individual to warm them up and increase their body temperature ## Unconscious A person suffering from severe hypothermia may be unconscious and not appear to have a pulse or be breathing. In this scenario, handle the person carefully and get emergency aid immediately. Even if the victim looks to be dead, perform CPR. CPR should be continued until the victim responds or medical help arrives. While performing CPR, keep the person warm. Hypothermia victims who appear to be dead can be successfully resuscitated in some situations. # How to deliver first aid to hypothermia? Call 911 or the local emergency number anytime you suspect someone has hypothermia. Give [first aid](https://medlineplus.gov/ency/article/000038.htm) while waiting for emergency help. Take the following steps if you think someone has hypothermia: 1. If the individual is exhibiting any symptoms of hypothermia, including but not limited to confusion or difficulties thinking, dial 911 immediately. 2. If the person is unconscious, examine their airway, breathing, and circulation. If necessary, start performing chest compressions and [rescue breathing](https://medlineplus.gov/ency/article/000010.htm) as soon as their breathing rate drops below six breaths per minute. 3. Bring the individual indoors where it is more comfortable, and cover them with warm blankets. If going indoors is not an option, move the individual away from the wind and cover them with a blanket to protect them from the chilly ground. Wrap your blanket around the person’s head and neck to retain body heat. 4. Those who have suffered from acute hypothermia should be removed from the cold environment as quickly and with as little exertion as possible. This helps prevent heat from being transferred from the core to the muscles, which is beneficial. On the other hand, physical exercise is believed to be safe for a person who is just hypothermic to a very mild degree. However, as soon as you are inside, you should change out of any wet or restrictive clothing and into dry clothing. 5. Put the person at ease. If necessary, use the heat from your body as an additional source of warmth. Warm compresses should be applied to the groin, chest wall, and neck. 6. Warm fluids that have been sweetened but do not include alcohol should be given to the person to help them warm up if they are conscious and can swallow readily. 7. Keep them company until medical assistance arrives. ## What Not to Do? The following are precautions of what not to do to someone suffering from hypothermia. Please remember them, as you can’t tell when an emergency can occur. It’s always helpful to know these things. - DO NOT automatically presume that a person who is discovered lying still, motionless and exposed to the cold is already dead. - Direct heat sources (such as hot water, a heating pad, or a heat lamp) should NOT be used to warm the individual up. - DO NOT give the individual any alcoholic beverages. # Conclusion Learning how to administer CPR and first aid is an important life skill that can help you save someone’s life in an emergency.

Readable Markdown	![First Aid Response to Hypothermia](https://cprfirstaid.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/First-Aid-Response-to-Hypothermia.jpg) Key Takeaways: Hypothermia First Aid Essentials - Hypothermia is life-threatening and occurs when the body loses heat faster than it can produce it, often in cold or wet environments. - Early signs include confusion, shivering, drowsiness, pale skin, slow breathing, and poor coordination. - Heat loss is fastest in water, with the body cooling up to 25× faster than in air at the same temperature. - Immediate action: move the person to a warm, dry place, remove wet clothing, and wrap them in blankets. - Warm from the core using skin-to-skin contact, warm (non-alcoholic) drinks, and compresses to the chest, groin, and neck. - Handle with extreme care to avoid triggering dangerous heart rhythm abnormalities. - If unconscious, check airway, breathing, and circulation; begin CPR if needed and continue until help arrives. - Avoid direct heat sources, alcohol, and unnecessary movement, which can worsen the condition. - Call emergency services immediately for any suspected hypothermia, regardless of severity. - Learn CPR and first aid skills to confidently respond to hypothermia and other medical emergencies. Hypothermia is a dangerous condition that can occur in cold environments. Without proper first aid, hypothermia can lead to death. This blog post will explain how to respond to hypothermia commonly experienced by hikers and people from countries with snow or winter. First, we will provide an overview of the condition, followed by information on diagnosing and treating it. Finally, we will discuss the essential [first aid response to hypothermia](https://cprfirstaid.com.au/the-best-ways-to-prevent-and-treat-hypothermia/). ## What is it like to suffer from hypothermia? When a person suffers from [hypothermia](https://medlineplus.gov/ency/article/000038.htm), they will experience the following signs and symptoms: - Confusion - Drowsiness - Pale and cold skin - Slowed breathing or heart rate - Shivering that cannot be controlled (although at extremely low body temperatures, shivering may stop) - Weakness and loss of coordination ## Effect on your Body Up to [90%](https://www.webmd.com/a-to-z-guides/what-is-hypothermia) of the heat you lose leaves your body through your skin in cold weather. The rest comes out of your lungs when you breathe out. Radiation is the primary way heat is lost through the skin, and the process speeds up when the skin is exposed to wind or water. If you are cold because you are in cold water, you can lose heat 25 times faster than in the same temperature air. The hypothalamus is the part of the brain that controls body temperature. It does this by setting off processes that heat and cool the body. When exposed to cold temperatures, shivering is a protective way for muscles to work to make heat. ## Effect on your Mind Most of your body heat comes from the work of your heart and liver. But as the body’s core temperature drops, these organs make less heat, so they “shut down” to protect the brain and keep the body warm. Low body temperature can make the brain work, breathe, and beat more slowly. People may become confused and exhausted, making it difficult for them to comprehend what is happening and make rational decisions about safely moving out of harm’s way. ## How do you help someone with hypothermia if no aid is around? Anyone experiencing hypothermia symptoms should seek medical assistance right away. It is imperative to seek immediate professional help for someone experiencing hypothermia. Call the local emergency hotline or rush to the hospital to get treated. If no aid is available, there are still limited ways to help which can improve the casualty’s condition. Until assistance arrives, the CDC Trusted Source suggests: - If possible, move the person to an area that is warm and dry or with a shield or roof above the head, protecting from the sun, rain, cold, etc. - Removing any wet clothing from the person - Covering the person with an electric blanket, if one is accessible, or with dry layers of towels, clothing, or blankets if one is not available - Having the person drink a warm beverage, excluding alcohol, if they are not unconscious - Avoid moving or jostling the person, as doing so can cause a fatal heart rhythm abnormality. - Having skin-to-skin contact with another individual to warm them up and increase their body temperature ## Unconscious A person suffering from severe hypothermia may be unconscious and not appear to have a pulse or be breathing. In this scenario, handle the person carefully and get emergency aid immediately. Even if the victim looks to be dead, perform CPR. CPR should be continued until the victim responds or medical help arrives. While performing CPR, keep the person warm. Hypothermia victims who appear to be dead can be successfully resuscitated in some situations. ## How to deliver first aid to hypothermia? Call 911 or the local emergency number anytime you suspect someone has hypothermia. Give [first aid](https://medlineplus.gov/ency/article/000038.htm) while waiting for emergency help. Take the following steps if you think someone has hypothermia: 1. If the individual is exhibiting any symptoms of hypothermia, including but not limited to confusion or difficulties thinking, dial 911 immediately. 2. If the person is unconscious, examine their airway, breathing, and circulation. If necessary, start performing chest compressions and [rescue breathing](https://medlineplus.gov/ency/article/000010.htm) as soon as their breathing rate drops below six breaths per minute. 3. Bring the individual indoors where it is more comfortable, and cover them with warm blankets. If going indoors is not an option, move the individual away from the wind and cover them with a blanket to protect them from the chilly ground. Wrap your blanket around the person’s head and neck to retain body heat. 4. Those who have suffered from acute hypothermia should be removed from the cold environment as quickly and with as little exertion as possible. This helps prevent heat from being transferred from the core to the muscles, which is beneficial. On the other hand, physical exercise is believed to be safe for a person who is just hypothermic to a very mild degree. However, as soon as you are inside, you should change out of any wet or restrictive clothing and into dry clothing. 5. Put the person at ease. If necessary, use the heat from your body as an additional source of warmth. Warm compresses should be applied to the groin, chest wall, and neck. 6. Warm fluids that have been sweetened but do not include alcohol should be given to the person to help them warm up if they are conscious and can swallow readily. 7. Keep them company until medical assistance arrives. ## What Not to Do? The following are precautions of what not to do to someone suffering from hypothermia. Please remember them, as you can’t tell when an emergency can occur. It’s always helpful to know these things. - DO NOT automatically presume that a person who is discovered lying still, motionless and exposed to the cold is already dead. - Direct heat sources (such as hot water, a heating pad, or a heat lamp) should NOT be used to warm the individual up. - DO NOT give the individual any alcoholic beverages. ## Conclusion Learning how to administer CPR and first aid is an important life skill that can help you save someone’s life in an emergency.
