Rapid action is required to care for a hypothermic person.

Call 911 immediately and do the following:

Remove the person from the cold and get them to a warm environment.

Remove any wet clothing and dry the person.

Redress in dry, warm clothing and cover with a blanket.

Cover the head as it is a source of significant heat loss.

Be prepared to perform CPR. Stay with the person until advanced help arrives.

TOXIN AND POISON EXPOSURE

The list of toxins and potential poison exposure is extensive and beyond the scope of this handbook. Some basic concepts that are universally applicable for first aid providers are included in this handbook.

A material safety data sheet (MSDS) is required to be available where chemicals are in use in businesses and institutions. The data sheets provide information about the composition of various chemicals and are useful when contacting poison control.
