Funded Activity Summary

It is well established that keeping patients warm and preventing hypothermia before, during and after surgery leads to better outcomes. Although recommended practices for keeping a patient warm during surgery are relatively simple and inexpensive, they are often not adhered to in clinical practice. The aim of this implementation study is to improve compliance with evidence-based guidelines for the prevention of unplanned hypothermia in adult surgical patients.
