Which of the following BEST prevents hypothermia in the OR?
A. forced air warming blanket
B.warmed IV solution
C. warmed irrigation solution
D. multiple layers of warm blankets
CORRECT ANSWER
A. Patient positioning leads to greater body surface exposure to cool temperatures.
Forced air warming blankets are most effective in preventing cutaneous loss of body heat
over the greatest surface area.
