Treat hypothermia by protecting further heat loss and calling for immediate medical attention
- Get the victim out of the cold
- Add insulation such as blankets, pillows, towels or newspapers beneath and around the victim
- Be sure to cover the victim's head
- Replace wet clothing with dry clothing
- Handle the victim gently because rough handling can cause cardiac arrest
- Keep the victim in a horizontal, flat position
- Give artificial respiration or CPR if you are trained as necessary
