hypothermia treatment

Hypothermia treatment involves gradually warming the body to restore normal temperature and prevent further complications. In medical settings, this can be done using warmed intravenous fluids, heated blankets, or specialized equipment like warming blankets or devices that circulate warm water. The goal is to carefully raise the body temperature to normal levels without causing rapid shifts that could lead to other issues like shock or arrhythmias. Close monitoring of vital signs, temperature, and heart function is essential throughout treatment. The overall aim is to stabilize the patient, protect vital organs, and promote recovery.
