Convective warming is a method of maintaining normal body temperature (normothermia) and preventing hypothermia. Research has shown that unintended perioperative hypothermia can have significant effects on patient outcomes including heightened risk of surgical site infections, myocardial ischemia, prolongation of drug effects, bleeding diatheses, and longer hospital stays resulting in increased health expenditures.1, 2, 3 As a worldwide leader in Temperature Management Solutions™, Smiths Medical has developed the Level 1® Convective Warming System to keep patients both comfortable and normothermic.
