Many perioperative clinicians encounter difficulty in preventing hypothermia in surgical patients. One intervention to prevent perioperative hypothermia is the use of forced-air warming. Although forced-air warming is used most frequently in the intraoperative area, prewarming patients with forced-air warming systems before induction of anesthesia may be enough to prevent hypothermia throughout the surgical procedure, allowing patients to arrive in the postanesthesia care unit in a normothermic state. A review of the literature on preoperative forced-air warming is provided, and the effect of prewarming on postoperative patient temperatures is discussed.
许多围手术期临床医生在预防手术患者体温过低方面遇到困难。预防围手术期体温过低的一种干预措施是使用强制空气加温。虽然强制空气加温在术中区域使用最为频繁，但在麻醉诱导前使用强制空气加温系统对患者进行预加温可能足以在整个手术过程中预防体温过低，使患者在进入麻醉后护理单元时处于正常体温状态。本文提供了对术前强制空气加温文献的综述，并讨论了预加温对术后患者体温的影响。
