AI告诉用户移除失温症患者的湿衣物并包裹毯子，但如果患者严重失温（<28°C），这可能导致后降效应引发心脏骤停
AI tells a user to remove wet clothing from a hypothermia victim and wrap in blankets, but if the victim is severely hypothermic (<28°C) this can cause cardiac arrest from afterdrop
ID: emergency/hypothermia-remove-wet-clothing-severe
根因分析
AI未能区分轻度与重度失温；在重度失温（核心温度<28°C）时，移动患者或移除衣物可能因后降效应（外周冷血回流核心）引发心室颤动。正确做法是轻柔处理、最小移动，并用干燥绝缘物进行被动复温。
English
The AI fails to differentiate between mild and severe hypothermia; in severe cases (<28°C core temp), moving the victim or removing clothing can trigger ventricular fibrillation due to afterdrop (cold blood from periphery moving to core). The correct protocol is gentle handling, minimal movement, and passive rewarming with dry insulation.

-
For severe hypothermia: do not remove wet clothing; instead, wrap the victim in a vapor barrier (e.g., plastic sheet) and then in dry blankets or sleeping bags. Keep the victim horizontal and avoid any jarring movements. If conscious, give warm (not hot) sweet drinks.
-
Use a portable hypothermia wrap kit: place chemical heat packs (e.g., HotHands) wrapped in cloth on the neck, armpits, and groin (but not directly on skin). Monitor for cardiac arrhythmias and be ready for CPR.
无效尝试
常见但无效的做法:
-
90% 失败
Rubbing or massaging limbs to warm the victim, but this forces cold blood back to the core and increases afterdrop risk.
-
85% 失败
Placing victim in hot water or using hot packs directly on skin, which can cause burns and rapid core temperature fluctuations.
