Moderate
Hypothermia
Severe Hypothermia


First-aid and treatmen
• The first priority is to perform a careful check
for breathing and a pulse and initiate
cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) as
necessary.
• The second priority is re-warming.
Concretely . . .

Remove all wet clothes and move the person
inside.


The victim should be given warm fluids if he or she is able to drink,
but do not give the person caffeine or alcohol.


Cover the
person's body
with blankets
and aluminumcoated foils or
other available
protective covers


Do not apply direct heat .
-> The temperature can damage the skin or
cause cardiac arrest .
