The Impact of different warming devices on bacteria contamination in surgical field

Anesthesia may cause the development of hypothermia.By altering the physiologic mechanisms of thermoregulation,such as redistribution of blood flow,reducing metabolic rate,and vasodilatation,heat generation is decreased and heat loss is increased.Anesthesia related hypothermia is potentially associated with complications including coagulopathy,myocardial ischemia,surgical wound infection,etc.Demonstrated by numerous studies,convection warmers are though to be the most effective active warming device and are widely accepted in veterinary medicine for maintaining normother-
