1. To begin treatment, place a cold pack on your head or forehead. If you have an ice pack, it will be better.
2. Warm the patient a little with a warm foot bath.
3. The treatment can be given on a table, or on a bed. Protect the bed with plastic. Spread the blanket on top of the plastic, then spread out the wet sheet.
4. Soak the sheet in cold water and wring it out as best you can.
5. Spread it out on the ready-made bed or table, lay the patient on it. The upper edge of the sheet should be at the height of the neck. Tuck the top right edge of the sheet under the left arm and fold towards the back. Then with the left side of the sheet wrap the patient, covering the right leg completely. The sheet should fit snugly against the body for best effect; but, it should not be too tight that the patient does not feel tight. Secure the sheet with snap hooks.
6. Finally wrap the patient in the blanket.
