Common treatment guidelines include the use of water for fluid replacement as long as the person can swallow or IV fluid replacement for confused or unconscious patients. ICE should never be used to cool a person off! Application of room temperature water to the skin, removal of the person to a shady or cool are is the best way to gradually cool a heat exposure person.
