Blanket Warmers
Blanket warmers are most commonly used in hospitals, but there are also found in medical practices and aged care facilities.
Hospital blanket warmers gently heat blankets and linen before they are used to help warm and comfort patients. In hospitals, blanket warmers are used in perioperative, maternity, specialist and intensive care units, as well as general wards. A blanket warming cabinet is most commonly used to heat blankets to warm and comfort a patient before surgery, during and post-surgery. The reason for this is because mild hypothermia is common during deep sedation and general anesthesia. Apart from shivering and discomfort, hypothermia can increase the risk of complications such as myocardial events, surgical wound infections and transfusion requirements.
Blanket warming cabinets are typically used in conjunction with fluid warming cabinets to promote normothermia.
