Abstract
Peri-operative hypothermia has been associated with a range of adverse effects. During a random chart audit, an inconsistency was discovered in monitoring temperatures within 15 minutes of the patient’s arrival to the Post Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU) per ASPAN standards. Many newly hired staff were not aware of this standard and its importance as it relates to the treatment of hypothermia. This caused a problem in timely recognition and management of hypothermia in patients admitted to PACU. In order to achieve the best outcomes for patients with hypothermia, a literature search was performed to determine the best method of warming.
