Hypothermia

Background
Prevention of hypothermia must be emphasized in combat operations and casualty man-
agement at all levels of care. Hypothermia occurs regardless of the ambient temperature;
hypothermia can, and does, occur in both hot and cold climates. Because of the difficulty,
time, and energy required to actively re-warm casualties, significant attention must be paid
to preventing hypothermia from occurring in the first place. Prevention of hypothermia is
much easier than treatment of hypothermia; therefore, prevention of heat loss should start
as soon as possible after the injury. This is optimally accomplished in a layered fashion
with rugged, lightweight, durable products that are located as close as possible to the point
of injury, and then utilized at all subsequent levels of care, including ground and air evacu-
ation, through all levels of care. 12
