Hypothermia: (general care):
1. prevent additional evaporative heat loss by removing wet garments and insulating the victim from further environmental exposures.
2. for mild hypothermia: (>34C): passive rewarming (warmed blankets)
3. for moderate hypothermia: (30-34C): active external rewarming (radiant heat, forced hot air, warmed IV fluids, warm water packs.)
4. for severe hypothermia: (<30C): active internal rewarming (ECMO: Extracorporeal circulation)
5. Persons in cardiac arrest will require CPR, and active internal rewarming.
Blood loss:
1. Stop the source of bleeding (if possible)
2. Resuscitate with volume (blood products, IV fluids)

Sounds like you should be calling 911 instead of asking questions on a computer. Hypothermia is treated by gradually warming up the body with outside sources of heat. Only putting blankets on only keeps the cold inside them. Blood loss is usually treated with a blood transfusion.
