While we are at it....when a person is pulled from the water, if there is ANY possibility of hypothermia....be as gentle with them as possible...they should not exert themselves as too vigorously...fast/more circulation from shut down extremities can cause shock.


Very simplified....EMTs...medical experts feel free to fix.


I just know more than 1 hypothermic victim that said they were fine dropped dead walking away from a USCG helo.
