Comparison of passive warming with heat-band versus resistive heating blanket for prevention of inadvertent perioperative hypothermia in laparotomy for gynaecologic surgeries
Introduction: Inadvertent perioperative hypothermia (IPH) (defined as core body temperature <35.5°C) is still a common problem despite advancement in a variety of warming systems. In our centre, a common approach to patient warming is by resistive heating blanket, a costly device. To find a c...
