Hypothermia basically means being very, very cold. It's treated by returning the patient to normal core temperature. Dependent on degree of hypothermia, patient's general condition and resources available it can be treated in different ways.
Rapid heating can cause cardiac arrest, so often it's best simply to wrap the patient up in blankets, put them somewhere at room temperature and let them recover by themselves.
A doctor would treat hypothermia by doing a procedure called blood rewarming. This a process where blood is drawn, warmed and then recirculated into the body. They may also give you warm intravenous fluids.

Patients in whom hypothermia is suspected should be immediately warmed by gently removing wet clothing and providing dry clothing, blankets and shelter.
True. Hypothermia can significantly affect the respiratory center in the brain, causing a decrease in breathing (apnea) or shallow breathing. This can lead to respiratory failure if not treated promptly.
Deficient body temperature condition is called hypothermia. It occurs when the body loses heat faster than it can produce it, leading to a dangerously low body temperature. Symptoms may include shivering, confusion, and drowsiness, and can progress to more severe complications if not treated promptly.
Hypothermia is a threatening condition, that can lead to death.
