Effective heat retention: buy rescue blankets and rescue bags online
Maintaining warmth is one of the fundamentals of patient care and plays a crucial role in protecting the body from the negative effects of hypothermia. Especially in emergency situations, but also during extreme outdoor activities or transport, it is important to keep the body warm and minimise the risk of hypothermia.

When do we speak of hypothermia?
Hypothermia occurs when the body loses more heat than it can produce. From a cooling of one degree, the body functions begin to change (e.g. poorer blood clotting). Hypothermia occurs when the body temperature reaches values below 35° C.
What is meant by heat retention?
Heat maintenance refers to measures that serve to keep the body temperature at a healthy level and prevent the loss of body heat. This is crucial as maintaining a normal body temperature (normothermia) is important for many physiological processes.
When is heat retention necessary?
Heat retention is required in a variety of situations - be it in first aid after accidents, during outdoor activities in cold environments, in emergency situations or in medical care, to name but a few. Effective heat retention is particularly essential for people who are exposed to an increased risk of hypothermia, such as injured people, swimmers or mountaineers.
How can hypothermia be prevented?
To prevent hypothermia, it is important to know the differences between active and passive heat preservation and when which approach is necessary.
Passiveheat preservation describes the prevention of further heat loss by insulating the affected person. Products such as blankets/rescue blankets belong to the passive heat retention product group, as they reflect the person's own body heat and thus protect against further heat loss.
Active heat retention, on the other hand, is used to actively supply heat and increase body temperature. This is particularly important if the body temperature has already dropped or if there is a risk that passive measures will not be sufficient. This is where products such as
Ready-Heat blankets are used, which generate heat through chemical reactions or electrical elements and thus actively warm the body.
