Conversations With Keith & Courtney: Hypothermia
In this week’s episode, Keith and Courtney discuss temperature monitoring in our patients under anaesthesia. Anaesthesia-related hypothermia is both extremely common and also avoidable through effective monitoring and management – so what can you do for your patients? They start by revising some of the pathophysiology of how hypothermia occurs, ways you can monitor temperature trends, and then when and how you can act on those. After all, there’s nothing cool about cold cats!
