How do you treat hypothermia?- If a person becomes unconscious, get medical help as soon as possible. If cardiac arrest (heart attack) has occurred, have someone call for medical assistance and then do CPR. Bring the person indoors or to a dry place protected from the wind. Remove wet clothing and cover the person with dry blankets. Make sure to cover the head, hands, and feet. Put the person in a cot or bed next to a warm -- not hot -- heater. Lie under the covers next to the person to transfer your own body heat. If possible, have someone else lie on the other side. Give the person warm -- not hot -- broth or soup. Do not give alcohol to drink. Wrap an infant inside your own clothing against your skin. How do you treat bleeding? Treat bleeding by first wiping some of the blood away. Put some antiseptic on the wound, then apply pressure.When it stops bleeding, put a plaster on it.
