How to Use a Hypothermia Wrap for Emergency Warming #140918 (License: Personal Use)

The diagram illustrates a three-phase process: first, placing heat sources (e.g., chemical warmers or hot water bottles) on key areas-neck, chest, armpits, and groin-of the patient’s body; second, wrapping the patient in an insulating layer (like a foil blanket or sleeping bag) while securing the heat sources; third, fully enclosing the patient to retain warmth and prevent further heat loss. Arrows indicate direction of heat application and wrapping motion.
