Oh, I wouldn't even go that far - that might take too long for a patient who's hypothermic enough to require assistance. I would pad it - wrap it in a t-shirt or sweater, for example - and still monitor the patient closely, removing it from time to time to check it wasn't too hot. I just wanted people to be aware that "slap it on and leave it on" for something that hot is not a recommended practice <img src="images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
