根据寒冷天气适时添衣、保持干燥以及避风,是预防低温对身体产生不良影响的必要措施。应避免在严寒天气下饮酒和过度劳累。医护工作者应使用加热毯(例如,Bair-Hugger)覆盖体温较低的患者,在手术期间和手术后也可使用加热毯。家中若有老人和/或婴幼儿,应安装室内恒温器,以便在日间和夜间保持合适的温度。
全麻之前对患者预热10~20分钟可在很大程度上预防低体温和减少寒战。[19]Horn EP, Bein B, Böhm R, et al. The effect of short time periods of pre-operative warming in the prevention of peri-operative hypothermia. Anaesthesia. 2012 Jun;67(6):612-7.http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22376088?tool=bestpractice.com [
