Unique Breathable Construction
Our warming blankets and suits feature a unique breathable construction that provides even temperature and increased warmth. IOB blankets and suits have a multi-laminate breathable top layer consisting of spunbond and meltblown fabrics. This complimented by a two ply impermeable bottom layer of spunbond fabric and PE film.
Importance of
Maintaining Patient Normothermia
The maintenance of a normal core body temperature, normothermia, is a crucial component of patient safety.
Practice Guidelines for maintaining normothermia during perioperative and Postanesthetic Care recommend the use of forced-air warming devices for normalizing patient temperature and reducing shivering. Forced-air warming is associated with reduced time in recovery and improves patient comfort and satisfaction.
Core temperatures outside the normal range pose a risk in all patients undergoing surgery and have been associated with increased risk of surgical complications, including:
Increase Rate of SSIs
Increased Mortality
Increased Surgical Blood Loss
Extended Recovery Time
Advantages
Forced-Air Warming
-
The Air warming method is the most efficient way to treat hyperthermia.
-
Ordinary cotton blankets / circulating water blankets cannot effectively maintain the patient's body temperature.
-
It is recommended to maintain the body temperature of patients during operations.
-
The benefit far outweighs the risk and the recommendation should be performed or administered.
