Heated Blankets to the Rescue!
There are several programmes on TV now that show the rescue services in real-life action, and
if you don’t mind the tag of a “bus man’s holiday” I think they can be really entertaining and
sometimes quite informative. A bit sad really!
It struck me the other night whilst looking at a helicopter rescue that the unfortunate patient
had been kept un-warmed throughout the whole ordeal from accident right through the helicopter
flight and into the hospital A&E department. The poor guy must have been really cold (ie hypo-
thermic and needing to be warmed) by the time he arrived at A&E!
But of course we all know that this is all totally avoidable because warming blankets are available that are 100%
watertight and are powered by a high performance but lightweight battery for hours. These can help keep someone warm
even under water or in the extremes of weather and making sure that their body functions have not started to shut down.

The Rescue Covering Bag is a really useful rescue bag with integral hood to
protect the patient’s head. Get the patient in the bag and put a heating pad
(our UniqueResc or EMG-BT emergency system are ideal) over the chest,
wrap them up in the Rescue Covering, strap to a stretcher and move to the
waiting ambulance or other rescue vehicle. Alternatively the covering bag has
handles round the perimeter so that the patient can be carried.
The patient can be warmed from the EMG-BT battery and then switched to
the rescue vehicle 12v supply.
Rescue Covering and heated pads are available separately.

The Rescue Covering Bag combined with UniqueResc or EMG-BT warming is the real star for mountain rescue where
the injured person has to be manhandled to safety. This heated bag combination has grab handles incorporated to make
it really easy to grab the bag plus warmed patient and manoeuvre over rough terrain to the waiting transport (motor
vehicle, helicopter, aircraft, etc. The patient can be kept warm and hopefully normothermic all the way to hospital.

The benefits of warming the injured at the scene of an accident and then keeping them warm in transit to the hospital
cannot be under stated. Apart from feeling nice and warm patients have been shown to be less fearful, calmer, in
greater comfort and experience less pain. The benefits to A&E, surgical staff and the hospital accountant is even more
marked. It is known that a patient entering theatre with a normothermic core body temperature will have a significantly
better likelihood of recovery - blood clots better so there are fewer units transfused, the body can fight infections
better so antibiotics are used less and ultimately the patient is discharged from hospital sooner so freeing up bed space.
Purely financial savings per patient were estimated in 2004 and found to be:
£4,436 for surgical wound infection after intermediate/major surgery
£1,092 for surgical wound infection after intermediate/major surgery
£1,223 to treat a pressure ulcer caused during major surgery
£316 per extra day a patient stays in hospital

So there really is some serious money to be saved, whilst giving patients a better deal. A win-win situation!
Trust accountants please note!
It’s all about preventing hypothermia - and it is totally avoidable. No excuses!
