Explanation:

A person who has hypothermia should seek immediate medical attention because she always has a potential risk of severity and death. In acute cases and accidents before medical assistance, first aid should be to remove the person from the cold environment, remove his / her wet clothing if necessary, cover with blankets or blankets, if breathing stops, practice mouth-to-mouth breathing, sharing with one's body heat and providing drinks, because hypothermia limits the normal flow of fluids in the body causing dehydration. Emergency medical treatment may include rewarming the blood in a hemodialysis machine and intravenous administration of heated fluids.
