Dangers of Hypothermia (for Nurses)
(incl. TVA)
Perioperative hypothermia is a common consequence of anaesthesia and surgery and occurs in most patients undergoing anaesthesia. It can have adverse effects such as delayed anaesthetic recoveries and increased risk of postoperative wound infections.
In this webinar we will look at how anaesthesia can disrupt thermoregulation and the impact hypothermia has on the body. We will also look at how we can recognise hypothermia and what techniques we can use to minimise the heat loss perioperatively.
