mere suggestion that forced-air warming could cause SSIs was enough for Ms.
Sions to trial other warming options at Ruby Memorial Hospital, including

While heat loss during surgery is nearly unavoidable, you can prevent a
patient from becoming hypothermic and contracting a wound infection because
of it. Ms. Sions is quick to point out that hypothermia is only one of many fac-
tors that can cause an infection, and preventative measures must be multifac-
eted.
She says, "It's a lot of things taken together — like wiping off vials, nasal
swabbing, surgical attire, skin prepping, at-home showers, antibiotic administra-
tion, how you set up the sterile field and the reuse of adhesive tape rolls — that
is greater than the sum of its parts."
