O.3.3.3.4 Hospital treatment for severe hypothermiaIf someone is admitted to hospital with severe hypothermia, advanced medical treatment can be used to warm them (e.g. active internal warming, see O.3.3.3.1.7). However, the techniques employed are usually only available in major hospitals that have appropriate specialist emergency services or units, e.g. those that regularly perform heart surgery. A person with severe hypothermia is likely to stand a better chance of surviving if they are taken directly by ambulance to one of these hospitals, even if it means bypassing a smaller hospital on the way.O.3.4FrostbiteO.3.4.1Overview
