This equipment will be used during various clinical procedures to raise the temperature of refrigerated and room-temperature liquids such as banked blood, blood products, and intravenous (IV) and irrigation solutions as they are infused into the patient.
A blood warmer is an essential, life-saving device that ensures the safe administration of blood products during surgery. By rapidly warming blood to a safe temperature before transfusion, it prevents hypothermia, reduces the risk of coagulopathy, and improves patient outcomes. This device plays a crucial role in maintaining the body’s core temperature, especially in high-risk surgeries or in patients with significant blood loss. Its presence directly enhances patient safety, promotes better recovery, and supports the anesthesia team in delivering the highest standard of care.
