The body’s response to cold is immediate and powerful. When cold water hits the skin, blood vessels constrict, heart rate changes, and the body works to protect its core temperature. In the context of treating heat illness, this response is exactly what allows cold-water immersion to pull core temperature down quickly and safely.

In this short, Dr. John Jardine speaks with hosts Andrew Rizza and Dr. Cameron Roth about how the body reacts to rapid cooling, why this response is essential in emergency treatment, and what makes cold-water immersion the gold standard in saving athletes experiencing exertional heat stroke.
