EMS COOL BLANKET Emergency Heat Stress Treatment Instant cooling power when time counts
Here’s what the experts say: “I used the cooling blanket for one of my heat stress patients and it worked superbly! I can document a core temperature DROP of 4 degrees within 15 minutes and complete recovery. Here is the background...superbly conditioned male, 25 years old, heart rate monitor attached, rectal temperature probe, and VO2 Max monitor attached worked out on a treadmill in the water in 99(F) for 50 minutes. His core temperature climbed to 103.8 and he got nauseous and weak. We immediately removed him from the water and attached a read out monitor to him while applying the cooling blanket (taken straight from the refrigerator on the pool deck). His initial core temperature went UP after coming out of the water as the pool deck temperature was 110(F). He was very pale and weak and vomited twice, he could barely stand and his vital signs were 113/58, HR 140, core temp 104.1. After placing him at rest and applying the blanket, within 3 minutes he lost 2 degrees and his blood pressure returned to normal, he was no longer nauseous and was able to drink fluids. After 15 minutes his core temperature was returned to normal (98.8) and vital signs 118/78 pulse 72. All data is on record… I was concerned about placing a cold blanket on such a hot patient but the patient stated the heat seemed to flow away not be SHOCKED away. The patient made a full recovery!
