When to use BARRIER EasyWarm
BARRIER EasyWarm can be used to warm patients before, during and after surgery in order to help prevent hypothermia. Simply place the blanket over the patient approximately 30 min before induction of anaesthesia to pre-warm the patient. Let the blanket stay on the patient during surgery adjusting it to the surgical position. The blanket can then follow the patient into post-op to prevent shivering and to improve patient thermal comfort
How to use BARRIER EasyWarm
Tear package open using pre-cut tab located in top left corner. Remove the blanket from the outer protective package to expose BARRIER®EasyWarm® to air.
Open and unfold BARRIER EasyWarm completely and do not fold it over itself. When the blanket is exposed to air it reaches operational temperature within 30 minutes, which is maintained for up to 10 hours.
Place BARRIER EasyWarm with pads up. No extra weight should be added on top of warming pads.
During the pre– and post-operative period, and during surgical interventions on hand, arms and head, place BARRIER EasyWarm over the entire body
For surgical intervention in the lower abdominal area and lower extremities place BARRIER EasyWarm over the upper extremities and chest, with the cutout of the blanket at head level.
For surgical interventions above the genital area place BARRIER EasyWarm over the lower part of the body.
