Ice, Ice, Baby: The Hypothermic Patient
(RACE 1.0 CEU)
Most patients will experience some degree of hypothermia during
anesthetic procedures, whether under general anesthesia or sedation. However, hypothermia can begin prior to the
anesthetic event. Understanding how core
body temperature is regulated and how heat loss occurs, will lead to a better
understanding of how to prevent hypothermia.
