Evaporative cooling is the preferred method to actively reduce body temperature in the emergency department , as it can be performed with ongoing resuscitation efforts. Ice water immersion and iced peritoneal lavage are additional methods used to lower temperature but are more invasive or can prevent additional resuscitative efforts.
