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 draft NICE Guidelines on Perioperative Hypothermia come out strongly in favour of
using warm IV fluids in conjunction with heated blankets during and post-surgery.
The financial savings based on 2004-5 prices are estimated to be:
£3,858 for surgical wound infection after intermediate/major surgery
£950 for surgical wound infection after intermediate/major surgery
£1,064 to treat a pressure ulcer caused during major surgery
£275 per extra day a patient stays in hospital
is more than just circumstantial. There have been many studies to determine the real benefits.

Benefits include protection against cerebral ischemia and malignant hyperthermia.
Decreasing the incidence of postoperative wound infections by 64%
and the likelihood of postoperative myocardial infarction by 44%
Decreasing intensive care unit time by 43% and shortening hospital length of stay by 40%
Lowering mortality rates by 55%
Decreasing the likelihood of mechanical ventilation by 34%
Reducing the probability of needing transfusion by 40%
Reducing the use of blood products - 86% less packed blood cells, 79% less fresh frozen
plasma and 78% less platelets.
Reducing the level of antibiotic prescription.

Warming may prove to be an alternative prophylaxis that avoids the risks of allergy and
resistance associated with antibiotics.
The implications of the study are simple - if you are a patient going into surgery, you
want to stay warm.
Warming devices pay off for surgical patients - and the budget.

Hypothermia is common among the majority of patients having major surgery.
Hypothermia itself may delay healing and predispose patients to wound infections.
Maintaining normothermia is likely to decrease the incidence of infectious complications.

the whole answer, is definitely part of the whole picture
in terms of maintaining normothermy and patient comfort.
Remember that hypothermia is a body core temperature of 35C
and this can often unintentionally happen during surgery.

Using heated over-blankets during surgery is also part of the overall strategy of
preventing hypothermia in the operating room. These reusable heated blankets
offer an excellent means of achieving this with very low running costs -
Savings can amount to many thousands of pounds annually when compared with
hot air blanket systems. Call us to find out how much you could save!
