The same patented conductive technology utilized in KOALA ∆T Warming System is also available in overbody blankets to maintain normothermia Pre-Op, Post-Op and in select Intensive Care situations.
With low running costs and minimal setup requirements, KOALA ∆T Warming Blankets are a reusable, cost efficient solution to warm every surgical patient.
All patients under general anesthesia, regardless of age, weight or other factors, are at increased risk of hypothermia. Research indicates that body temperature drops precipitously during surgery due to cold operating room temperatures and anesthetic-induced inhibition of thermoregulation.
Studies have proven that warming patients 30 minutes before an operation significantly reduces the risk of perioperative hypothermia, improving recovery rates and long term health.
In this study in the British Journal of Anesthesia, temperature was maintained above the hypothermic threshold of 36°C in 68% of patients in the pre-warmed group, compared with 43% of patients in the control group. All patients were warmed interoperatively.
