Temperature Controlled Environment
A very important, yet overlooked, part of anesthesia is a temperature-controlled environment. This is important for all patients but can be critical for the smaller patients. Keeping the patient warm during the procedure and in recovery is important at two levels. It helps the patient wake up and recover faster and the patient is much more comfortable, unlike the open back gowns we get in the hospital.
We help maintain our patient’s body temperature in two ways. First the surgery table, itself, is heated; second is our heat controlled ICU cages where the patients recover. In these two ways we are able to maintain our patient’s body temperature to optimize patient comfort and speed recovery for anesthesia.
