Own the Zone and prevent hypothermia with the 3M™ Bair Hugger™ normothermia system.
-
Perioperative temperature management can bring new value to facilities today and in the future. When used properly, patient warming and temperature monitoring systems can help the surgical care team Own the Zone— keeping a patient’s core body temperature within the normothermic temperature zone of 36.0° to 37.5°C1,2—by proactively monitoring and maintaining a patient’s core body temperature from the time a patient enters pre-op until the moment that patient is discharged.

Learn How You Can Help Own the Zone
Why is normothermia maintenance so critical to patient outcomes? What are some common misconceptions and realities? How can my facility successfully Own the Zone? You’ll find answers to these questions and more in the free whitepaper, Own the Zone: The Importance of Proactive Temperature Management as a New Standard of Patient Care.

When it comes to patient normothermia, degrees matter. Even a minor drop in core body temperature can result in unintended hypothermia, a surgical complication associated with an increased risk of SSIs and other costly, potentially deadly consequences.

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 is the only true way to own the normothermic temperature zone (36.0°C - 37.5°C)¹,2 and protect patients from unintended perioperative hypothermia.
