The US ARMY Trauma Combat Casualty Critical Care Handbook states that as many as 66% of trauma patients arrive in emergency departments manifesting some degree of hypothermia. Over 80% of non-surviving patients have had a body temperature of less than 34 degree C. Prevention of mild to moderate hypothermia should be emphasized in military and especially combat operations.
