 Beginning patient warming before surgery just makes sense – for patients and clinicians alike. Unintended perioperative hypothermia is easier to prevent than treat, and prevention is most effective when the warming begins in pre-op. Actively warming patients before the induction of anesthesia – known as prewarming – is the most effective way to prevent intraoperative hypothermia in surgeries lasting less than one hour. Prewarming with the Bair Paws system combined with intraoperative forced-air warming also prevents unintended hypothermia for procedures lasting more than one hour. The Bair Paws system also addresses two key pre-op patient concerns – feeling cold and being “exposed” by traditional cotton gowns. In addition, warm patients mean your staff makes fewer trips to the blanket warmer and can spend more time on other patient-care matters. |
