Once the ambulance arrives, the emergency medical technician, or EMT, will assess the person’s condition. A person with mild to moderate hypothermia and no other injuries or issues will likely not need to be taken to the hospital. The EMT may recommend more home treatment, with gradual rewarming of the person. But a person with more severe hypothermia will need to be observed in the hospital. If you have called for an ambulance and the person is unconscious or unresponsive, the emergency medical technician will likely perform CPR. Once the person arrives at the hospital, speak to the doctor about possible treatment options, especially if the hypothermia is severe.  Cardiopulmonary bypass is when blood is withdrawn from the body, warmed up, and then returned to the body. This is also known as extracorporeal membranous oxygenation (ECMO).  This technique is only available at major hospitals that have specialist emergency services or units that regularly perform heart surgery. A person with severe hypothermia often stands a better chance of surviving if she is taken directly to one of these hospitals, even if it means bypassing a smaller hospital along the way. Alternatives to cardiopulmonary bypass include warmed iv fluids, chest tubes with warm irrigation, and/or warmed hemodialysis.
