All surgical patients undergoing anesthesia can be at risk of hypothermia, a drop in body temperatures to below normal levels. Arizant Healthcare products help prevent and treat hypothermia. Studies suggest maintaining normal body temperature before, during and after surgery can reduce the risk of SSIs and other serious complications associated with hypothermia.
