This may be due to a medical condition such as a heart attack or a result of trauma caused by an accident. While cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is essential, hypothermia may occur, especially in instances of trauma, and exacerbate the patient's condition, leading to long term complications and even death. EMS personnel need to be cognizant of this risk, and if there's any indication of hypothermia, take immediate steps to warm the patient.

Often, a combination of kind words, a non-threatening environment and a warm blanket creates a sense of well-being, which can make a real difference in a patient’s perception of their situation. [EMS blankets](https://www.grahammedical.com/bedding/blankets/), play an important role in improving patient outcomes. Medical blankets, which may rank among the least appreciated items in the EMS tool chest, not only provide warmth, but also protect patients and emergency responders against injury. [Designed for different uses, and available in a variety of materials](https://resources.grahammedical.com/guide-ems-medical-blanket), EMS blankets play an important role in improved patient care outcomes.   [Read More](https://blog.grahammedical.com/blog/materials-matter-how-medical-blanket-materials-impact-patient-care) 0 Comments [Click here to read/write comments](https://blog.grahammedical.com/blog/materials-matter-how-medical-blanket-materials-impact-patient-care#comments-listing) Topics: [EMS Blankets](https://blog.grahammedical.com/blog/topic/ems-blankets), [medical blankets](https://blog.grahammedical.com/blog/topic/medical-blankets) ## [Understanding Applications for Different Medical Blankets](https://blog.grahammedical.com/blog/blog-understanding-applications-for-different-medical-blankets) Posted by [Graham Medical](https://blog.grahammedical.com/blog/author/graham-medical) on Oct 25, 2017 10:00:00 AM - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) [![](https://blog.grahammedical.com/hubfs/GrahamMedical%20-March2017/Medical-Blankets.jpg)](https://blog.grahammedical.com/blog/blog-understanding-applications-for-different-medical-blankets) One  of the truly unsung heroes in the EMTs armamentarium of emergency  supplies is the lowly blanket. While more specialized equipment involves state-of-the-art technology or lifesaving functions like staunching blood flow, the lowly blanket just continues to do its menial job function(s). BUT, it truly is a hero and is recognized as such by the persons who need it in emergency situations.
