Hypothermia Wrap Rewarming
Hypothermia wrap rewarming bundles dry insulation and gentle core heat for cold-injured athletes—warming the trunk first without aggressive limb rubbing.
Hypothermia wrap rewarming bundles a person in dry base layers, insulation, vapor barrier, and heat packs on torso and neck—gentle horizontal position when possible. Avoid aggressive massage of cold limbs; warm trunk first.
Monitor shivering return and mental status. Training groups should rehearse wraps before winter expeditions.
