    Efficacy of forced air in the prevention of hypothermia in presurgical patients
    (Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2021-11-14) Lozano Pariona, Julio; Vásquez Mego, Zalomon; Pretell Aguilar, Rosa Maria
    Worldwide, surgical interventions are performed where patients are prone to different complications such as hypothermia, surgical site infection, delayed wound healing, and coagulation impairment. Therefore, the nursing professional resorts to the use of forced air warming systems to reduce thermal discomfort. The perioperative period consists of three phases: preoperative (the hour prior to the surgical procedure), intraoperative (time inside the operating room), and postoperative (time in the post-anesthesia recovery unit). Scientific evidence consistently shows that patients undergoing surgery, and thus anesthesia procedures, experience drops in their central temperature during one of these phases or even throughout the entire period.
