Summary
In order to prevent hypothermia during or after surgery, patients can be warmed before or during the induction of anaesthesia. If the patient is warmed before, this is known as prewarming, and if they are warmed at the same time that anaesthetics are given, this is known as cowarming. This study in the Journal of Anaesthesiology and Clinical Pharmacology aimed to investigate whether cowarming is as good as prewarming in preventing the occurrence of intraoperative hypothermia.
