Treatments Your Provider May Prescribe
The physician will initiate basic life support measures, if necessary, including resuscitation and cardiac monitoring. If a person's core temperature is below 30°C (86°F), rewarming may need to be done before therapy for cardiac arrest is effective.

Severe hypothermia may necessitate warm IV fluids; warm, humid oxygen; and/or other warming measures.
