Bair hugger

SKU: TW

The Bair Hugger system is a convective temperature management system used in a hospital or surgery center to maintain a patient's core body temperature. The Bair Hugger system consists of a reusable warming unit and single-use disposable warming blankets for use before, during and after surgery. This medical device launched in and is currently manufactured by the 3M Company. The Bair Hugger system uses convective warming, also known as forced-air warming, to prevent and treat perioperative hypothermia. The system includes two primary components: a warming unit and a disposable blanket. The warming unit is connected by a flexible hose to the single-use blanket. Warm air from the warming unit passes through the flexible hose and into the blanket.

The Bair Hugger temperature monitoring system 3M UK is a non-invasive device that can accurately and continuously measure the patient's core body temperature before, during and after surgery known collectively as the perioperative phase. The system consists of a single-use zero-heat flux sensor and a reusable sensor cable, control unit and power supply. An optional monitor cable is also available for connection to other patient monitoring systems. The sensor is placed on the patient's forehead and is held in place by an adhesive backing. It is connected to the control unit through the sensor cable. If needed, it can be disconnected and reconnected to a different sensor cable and control unit each time the patient is moved to a different location. The system was marketed as SpotOn until The control unit shows the patient's current temperature and a graphical display of up to 2 hours of previous temperature data.

Forced air warming blankets are a commonly used medical device in the perioperative setting and within Paediatric Intensive Care and High Dependency units They are used as a means of preventing inadvertent hypothermia during prolonged operative procedures, and to help establish and maintain normothermia in acutely and critically ill infants and children. This nursing procedural guideline is intended to be followed by nurses involved in caring for the highly dependent or critically ill infant or child requiring body temperature management and prevention of hypothermia using forced air warming within the Paediatric Critical Care Unit at RHC Glasgow. All nursing staff involved in the management of body temperature and use of forced air warming in the Paediatric Critical Care Unit should be familiar with this nursing procedural guideline. Check unit, ensure the air hose is intact and secure at side port of unit Fig.

SKU: TW Up to 64 percent of the patient's body surface may be recruited for heat transfer, depending on which Bair Hugger blanket is used.

After becoming aware that some patients and doctors are not using warming blankets because of the misinformation, the U. Food and Drug Administration sent a letter to medical providers in August , recommending that they continue to warm patients before surgery when clinically warranted.
