What to do
* Move the person out of the cold. Preventing additional heat loss is crucial. If you're unable to move the person out of the cold, shield the person from the cold and wind as best you can.
* Remove wet clothing. If the person is wearing wet clothing, remove it and replace it with a dry covering. Cover the person's head. Try not to move the person too much.
* Insulate the person's body from the cold ground. Lay the person faceup on a blanket.
* Monitor breathing. A person with severe hypothermia may appear unconscious, with no apparent signs of a pulse or breathing. If the person's breathing has stopped or appears dangerously low or shallow, begin cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) immediately if you're trained.
* Share body heat. To warm the person's body, remove your clothing and lie next to the person, making skin-to-skin contact. Then cover both bodies with a blanket.
* Provide warm beverages. If the affected person is alert and is able to swallow, have the person drink a warm, nonalcoholic beverage to help warm the body.
What not to do
* Don't apply direct heat.(不可以直接加热) Don't use hot water, a heating pad or a heating lamp to warm the victim. Instead, apply warm compresses to the neck, chest wall and groin. Don't attempt to warm the arms and legs. Heat applied to the arms and legs forces cold blood back toward the heart, lungs and brain, causing the core body temperature to drop. This can be fatal.
* Don't massage or rub the person.(不可以按摩或摩擦病人). Handle people with hypothermia gently because they're at risk of cardiac arrest.
