Hypothermia treatment

by David
(Canada)

If someone have hypothermia take off their clothes and put new ones on. Put a blanket over the clothes you have taken off and put them by the fire. If the hypothermia is really bad, take off your clothes and their clothes and get in to the same sleeping bag as them and make sure you are close to them because you want to give them your body heat.

The latest advice now is for the rescuer not to take off their clothes to share body heat because the opposite may take place. The naked rescuer may become too cold to help the victim and in turn become hypothermic.
