ABSTRACT:
A method for treating hypothermia or hyperthermia patients is presented wherein the upper torso of the patient is maintained in close contact with a wet absorbent material in a vestlike garment that carries a water supply to maintain the absorbent material wet to effect sensible heat transfer between the patient and the water. In one embodiment, evaporative cooling is moderated by an overgarment of a waterproof material.
