Glabrous-Skin Cooling for Hyperthermia

For heat illness or dangerously elevated body temperature, cool the glabrous skin surfaces—especially the palms, soles, and face—rather than focusing only on the neck, armpits, or groin. This whole-body cooling approach is reported to lower temperature faster, roughly doubling the cooling rate compared with standard field methods.

So what we did is we did studies in which we made people hyperthermic and then we measured the rate at which we could cool them by putting those heat exchange bags in the recommended location versus palms, soles, and face. The cooling rate was double.
