3M Health Care,* the Center for Healing Solutions* & HMP Global* present an…On-demand Program: “Great Debates & Updates in Temperature Management”

TOPIC #1: Practice Changing Updates Panel: ERAS® Society Guidelines Recommendation for Prevention of Perioperative Hypothermia

After participating in this activity, learners should be able to:

• Explain the importance of temperature management during all phases of the perioperative journey
• Describe warming protocols implemented to support an ERAS® bundle
• Discuss key metrics used to evaluate warming protocols
• Outline strategies to collaborate with industry partners to have a successful implementation
• Discuss the importance of a multidisciplinary team approach when implementing ERAS bundle/Patient warming protocol
• Discuss the role of Patient engagement in successful implementation of ERAS guidelines

TOPIC #2: Impact of Inadvertent Perioperative Hypothermia: Causes and Consequences

After participating in this activity, learners should be able to:

• Know the true core temperature monitoring sites, other generally reliably monitoring sites, and which sites are often unreliable
• Understand the normal thermoregulatory system, including afferent input, central control, and afferent defenses
• Understand the importance of perioperative warming, including benefits of pre-operative warming (“heat banking”)  via warming gowns, maintenance of warming efforts throughout induction and surgical prep, and requires teamwork
• Understand the importance of ongoing education and engagement regarding importance of perioperative temperature management

TOPIC #3: Great Debates and Updates in Temperature Monitoring

• Be able to describe the effects of general anesthesia on warm and cold response thresholds
• Understand the etiology of each phase of the hypothermia curve
• Understand the importance of perioperative temperature monitoring, discuss key metrics to evaluate warming protocol, and potential benefit of consistent thermometry method throughout perioperative process to reduce thermometry variation
• Understand the importance of maintaining patient safety and standards of practice: ASA/AANA/APSF/AORN
