What temperature do you use Bair Hugger?

Proven Temperature Management Solutions The Bair Hugger normothermia system provides the widest range of best-in-class patient warming products to help clinicians keep a patient’s core body temperature within the normothermic temperature zone of 36.0° to 37.5°C2,3 and safeguard patients while improving outcomes.

Which side of Bair Hugger goes on patient?

Always attach the hose to a Bair Hugger blanket before providing therapy. 4 Do not place the non-perforated side of the blanket on the patient. Thermal injury may result. Always place the perforated side (the side with small holes) toward the patient.

How does the Bair Hugger work?

Bair Hugger warming units filter air and then force warm air through Bair Hugger disposable blankets, which cover patients before, during and after surgery. Bair Hugger blankets are designed to use pressure points on the patient’s body to prevent heat from reaching areas at risk for pressure sores or burns.

When should a Bair Hugger be used?

Forced-air warming systems such as the Bair Hugger® 775 are routinely used in the perioperative situation, emergency rooms or in critical care units, where hypothermia can complicate treatment and recovery by increasing oxygen demand due to shivering and affect patient coagulation.

Can Bair Hugger cause hypotension?

Forced air rewarming (Bair Hugger) blanket Possible disadvantages of forced air rewarming include: Hypotension may occur during rewarming, probably a consequence of peripheral vasodilation. Afterdrop—This refers to a drop in core body temperature during rewarming.

Why is a Bair Hugger used?

The Bair Hugger temperature monitoring system (3M UK) is a non-invasive device that can accurately and continuously measure the patient’s core body temperature before, during and after surgery (known collectively as the perioperative phase).

When should you use a Bair Hugger?

When do you use Bair Hugger?

The Bair Hugger temperature monitoring system is intended for use during perioperative care by anaesthetists, recovery room nurses and ward nurses in a secondary care setting. It is used by the same clinical staff who currently monitor a patient’s temperature in the perioperative setting.

Why would you use a Bair Hugger?

Can you use a Bair Hugger to cool a patient?

Air-circulating cooling blankets (Polar Air and Bair Hugger) Should not be used for cooling, only for skin counterwarming. Even at lowest temperature setting the induction speed is no higher than simple skin exposure (≈0.5°C/h).

Do Bair Huggers increase infection?

A 2013 study published in The Bone & Joint Journal found that waste heat from forced-air warming blankets such as the Bair Hugger, “can increase the temperature and concentration of airborne particles” around patients in operating rooms, increasing the chance of infection.

What do you need to know about Bair Hugger?

Identifying and addressing unmet clinical needs in temperature management with proven, effective solutions has inspired the growth of the Bair Hugger portfolio to include 25 warming blanket models, four warming gown configurations and an innovative, non-invasive temperature monitoring system.

How to use the Bair Hugger temperature management unit?

1) Place the Bair Hugger blanket on the patient with the perforated side (the side with small holes) against the patient’s skin. 2) Insert the hose of the temperature management unit in the hose port on the blanket.

How does the 3M Bair Hugger patient warming system work?
