Heltiq Emergency Blanket/Rescue Blanket

Heltiq Emergency Blanket

HeltiQ Emergency Blanket is a rescue blanket made of aluminum foil that protects against overheating and hypothermia. The emergency blanket has a gold and a silver side and can be used in two ways. When you turn the gold side towards the body, it reflects sunlight against the silver side and prevents overheating of the body. When you turn the silver side towards the body, the emergency blanket retains body heat and prevents hypothermia.

You can also use the emergency blanket as protection against the sun by placing the gold side over the victim, or the vehicle in which the victim is located. This way, you protect the victim from the heat of the sun while waiting for emergency services to arrive. The HeltiQ Emergency Blanket measures 210 x 160 cm and is compactly packaged. This makes it easy to apply to the victim and simple to carry.

Give the victim something warm to drink, preferably not coffee, definitely no alcohol, and warm the person slowly (never rub hard).

Stages of hypothermia

2nd stage: The victim is not very mobile, is slurring, has slow reflexes, and becomes apathetic (wants to sleep).
3rd stage: If nothing is done about the hypothermia, unconsciousness will occur and the victim may die from cardiac arrest.
