A common tool to cool people in the pre-hospital setting is the chemical ice pack. These are
used by athletic trainers, EMS personnel, ER staff, and people in the prehosoital setting.
The ability of these to cool a person has never been quantified, the efficiency and extent of
cooling, as well as location of placement of ice packs is purely anecdotal. The purpose of
this study is to determine whether strategically placed chemical ice packs will provide
benefit to individuals subjected to heat stress.
