Thermal burn injuries are a known complication of forced-air warming devices but rarely occur when the device is used in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Here we present a case of a 3-year-old girl who in the immediate postoperative period was found to have prominent linear, evenly spaced vesicles and bullae in a pattern that distinctly matched the air-exit perforations of the Bair Hugger device. Clinicians should be aware of potential complications arising from even proper use of a medical device and take all necessary precautions to prevent such incidents.
热烧伤是强制空气加温设备已知的并发症，但按照制造商的说明使用该设备时很少发生。在此，我们报告一例3岁女孩的病例，该女孩在术后即刻被发现有明显的线性、间隔均匀的水疱和大疱，其形态与Bair Hugger设备的排气孔明显匹配。临床医生应意识到即使正确使用医疗设备也可能出现潜在并发症，并采取一切必要预防措施以防止此类事件发生。
