Brrrrrrrrrrrr.
It doesn't matter whether you work in the anaesthetic room, theatre or recovery unit, your patient is probably experiencing mild hypothermia. This month the Journal publishes a literature review about inadvertent hypothermia by Robert Nunney, a student ODP. Does anyone else remember trussing up patients like a Christmas turkey in an effort to retain some body heat?
