Headline seems a little sensational in that the article never says they're using body bags (the bags we put dead bodies into) it says watertight blue immersion bags have become standard equipment. So they're bags, and they're made for a body, but it's not clear that they're the same kind of bag.
Body-bag ice cooling has actually been pretty common practice across emergency medicine for some time. Legit body bags (clean ones obviously) are purpose built to be watertight and hold an adult human, and they're easily accessible to hospitals. It's a very effective and affordable method for controlling hyperthermia
It makes perfect sense and doesn't disturb or surprise me, I'm just objecting to the fact that that the only place that phrase is used is in the headline. The people quoted, and even the author, don't call them that.
If that doesn't work, just finish zipping it up. Easy-peezy
Grandma: "I'm not dead yet!"
“She says she’s not dead”
“She will be soon she’s very ill”
If you don't have an ice bath handy but you have cold packs, you can place cold packs under a persons arms in the pits, between their legs near the crotch and on their neck.
Does this work because it’s cooling down arteries and in turn taking cooler blood around the body? Not sure how human heat sinks work :)
Yep, cooling the blood in the major arteries for further circulation. It works opposite as well if you need to warm someone with hypothermia.
Thanks for sharing. I hope to never need it, but you never know :)
If you stick your forearms in a tub of cool water you can cool down quick without any risk of whatever the problem is called when you cool someone down too quick.
Shock? It feels like shock is the right answer here.
Edit: to to too.
Damn I miss ninja edits
