Good things happen when you keep patients warm, according to our national online survey of 306 facility managers, and we don't just mean such pre-op niceties as keeping patients comfortable and reducing their anxiety. We're talking about such major post-op benefits as decreasing anesthesia emergence times, reducing nausea and vomiting, preventing infection and lessening pain (and pain meds) — all of which contribute to faster, smoother discharges and give credence to the saying that nobody appreciates normothermia like patients and PACU staff.
