What are the Benefits Of Warming Patients?
The benefits to the patient and the hospital of keeping patients warm, during, pre- and post-operatively
is more than just circumstantial. There have been many studies to determine the real benefits.
The NICE Guideline 65 on Preventing Perioperative Hypothermia come out strongly in favour of
using warm IV fluids in conjunction with heated blankets pre, during and post-surgery.

Hypothermia is common among the majority of patients having major surgery.
Hypothermia itself may delay healing and predispose patients to wound infections.
Maintaining normothermia will decrease the incidence of infectious complications.
The use of fluid and blanket warming systems, although not the whole answer, is
definitely a significant part of the picture in terms of maintaining normothermy and
improving patient comfort and outcome. Remember that hypothermia is defined as
a body core temperature below 36C and this can often unintentionally happen during
surgery. Also pre warming patients on the ward is often indicated before surgery.

Using heated blankets as part of your patient temperature management protocol
to pre warm patients prior to surgery should also be part of the overall strategy of
preventing perioperative hypothermia. These reusable heated blankets offer an
excellent means of achieving this with very low running costs - Savings will be
many thousands of pounds annually when compared with warm air blanket systems.

World experts have reported these benefits of warming patients:
The financial savings based on 2004-5 prices are estimated to be:
£4,436 for surgical wound infection after major surgery
£1,092 for surgical wound infection after intermediate surgery
£1,223 to treat a pressure ulcer caused during major surgery
£316 per extra day a patient stays in hospital

All blood and fluid infusions should be warmed right up to the patient in order to
optimise temperature management of your patients. The Nuova/05plus iv fluid and
blood warmer does exactly this, helping you to meet the NICE Guidelines.

Greatly improves the body’s own ability to stem blood flow by improving clotting ability
Benefits protection against cerebral ischemia and malignant hypothermia.
Decreasing the incidence of post operative wound infections by 64%
Decreasing the likelihood of post operative myocardial infarctions by 44%
Decreases intensive care unit stay time by 43%
Reduces overall hospital stay time by 40%
Lowering mortality rates by 55%
Decreasing the likelihood of mechanical ventilation by 34%
Reduces the probability of needing transfusions by 40%
Reduces the use of blood products:- 86% less packed blood cells, 79% less FFP and
78% less platelets
Reduces the level of antibiotic prescription by reduced levels of post surgical infections
Warming may also prove to be an alternative prophylaxis that avoids the risks of allergy
and antibiotic resistance
The implications of these studies is simple - if you are a patient undergoing surgery
you want to be kept warm
Patient warming systems pay off for patients - and the hospital budget
