cover, to be worn by patients undergoing plastic surgeries longer than
90 minutes. The cone-shaped device has an elastic opening on one
end and a drawstring at the other that cinches around the patient's
tucked-in hair. It covers the patient's forehead and the top and back of
the head. The facility still uses forced-air warming and pre-warmed
cotton blankets for all cases, but Dr. Bazzell's head cover, used in con-
junction with those devices for longer cases, has made a big differ-
ence.
"On average, patients who didn't have head covers on would be 0.6°C
degrees under (normal)," says Dr. Bazzell, "and the ones who had head
covers were 0.6°C warmer. It just made sense as an adjunct warming
device. You lose a lot of heat through your hair and through the top of
your head."
