Hypothermia Field Response
Hypothermia field response stops exposure, adds dry insulation and calories, and escalates to rescue when confusion or vitals worsen on cold training routes.
Hypothermia field response means stopping exposure, insulating with dry layers and vapor barrier, offering warm sweet drinks if alert, and using body-to-body heat in a shelter—not aggressive rubbing of frostbitten skin. Handle the person gently; monitor breathing.
Know when to call rescue versus self-evacuate.
Common questions
-
Should you give a hypothermic person alcohol or caffeine?
No—both worsen heat loss and judgment. Warm non-alcoholic calories if the person is alert; prioritize insulation and professional help when cognition is impaired.
