- Increased Blood Loss Even mild hypothermia significantly increases blood loss by 16% and the relative risk for transfusion by 22%.
- Increased Hypothermia Did you know that up to 70% of patients in the OR experience perioperative hypothermia?
- Increased Infection Hypothermia is associated with a three fold increase in surgical site infection.
Hypothermia adds between $2,500 and $7,000 per surgical patient to hospitalization costs.
The cost of preventing intraoperative hypothermia is much less than the cost of treating the adverse outcomes that affect patients experiencing intraoperative hypothermia.
