Core body temperature is a critical vital sign that should be monitored throughout the perioperative journey. Proactively monitoring temperature with a consistent, accurate, and non-invasive system will help you to own the normothermic temperature zone (36.0°C - 37.5°C)1,2 and help protect patients from unintended perioperative hypothermia, a complication associated with numerous negative outcomes, including surgical site infection.
Most current technologies are unable to non-invasively and accurately measure core body temperature. The 3M™ Bair Hugger™ Temperature Monitoring System can do both, allowing you to improve active warming practices.
Bair Hugger™ Temperature Monitoring System is an accurate, non-invasive, easy to use solution that can monitor a patient’s core temperature consistently throughout the entire surgical pathway.
Actively measure patient temperature. Prewarm with 3M™ Bair Hugger™ forced-air warming blanket or gown systems to help prevent hypothermia.
Monitor core temperature during surgery with the 3M™ Bair Hugger™ temperature monitoring system. Proactively achieve and maintain normothermia with 3M™ Bair Hugger™ blanket or gown systems.
Continue to monitor patient temperature. Warm patients using 3M™ Bair Hugger™ blanket and gown systems to aid recovery and improve the patient experience.
