Article Synopsis
- Accidental hypothermia is a significant risk in trauma patients, and maintaining the temperature of infusion fluids is crucial during treatment to reduce morbidity and mortality.
- A study was conducted to assess how different ambient temperatures and flow rates affect the temperature of preheated infusion fluids in a prehospital emergency setting.
- Results indicated that to keep preheated fluids above 37°C when reaching the patient, higher flow rates and warmer ambient temperatures are necessary; lower temperatures and flow rates lead to greater heat loss in the fluids.
