Fluid and Blood Warmer: Preventing Transfused Hypothermia
Maintaining normothermia during transfusions is vital. Discover how fluid and blood warmers effectively prevent transfused hypothermia in critical care settings. Understanding Transfused Hypothermia Transfused hypothermia occurs when cold fluids or blood lower the patient’s body temperature. Large-volume transfusions increase hypothermia risk by disrupting the body’s thermal balance. A core body temperature below 36°C (96.8°F) indicates…
