“…Temperature lowering of infusion solutions in prehospital use is an emerging issue recently. Lyng et al [12] investigated a simple and inexpensive prehospital method for warming a bag of infusion solution during transportation of trauma patients to hospitals. However, changes in temperature of infusion solution in the infusion circuit in a cold environment have seldom been investigated.…”

Trauma patients may experience acidosis, coagulopathy, and hypothermia as a result of decreased circulating blood volume. This lethal triad [1] has been recognized as an important cause of death in trauma patients. In fact, numerous reports have described a relation between hypothermia and mortality in trauma patients [2][3][4][5][6]. Heat loss typically occurs at a rate of 60-75 kcal/h, but can occur at a rate of 400 kcal/h in trauma patients [7]. Even mild hypothermia can result in significant increase in morbidity [2,3]. Gentilello et al. [8] confirmed that reducing the duration of hypothermia decreased the overall fluid requirement and increased the likelihood of resuscitation. Consequently, early prevention of hypothermia is extremely important in trauma patients.In Japan, trauma patients account for approximately

Warming up blood and intravenous (IV) fluids is crucial to saving lives under certain circumstances as it may prevent hypothermia during the transfusion or infusion process. Several blood and IV fluids warming methods have been developed and studied over the past few decades. Such warming methods range from devices that use electrical energy (external or internal, i.e., using battery packs) to technologies that use chemical energy to generate heat. Additionally, improvised warming methods such as exposure to body heat are often used in lieu of electrical and nonelectrical warmers, especially in harsh and demanding environments such as in combat. The performance and efficacy of the various warming methods currently available vary greatly and a one-size-fits-all solution appears to be nonexistent. This paper aims to provide a comprehensive review of the performance studies conducted on blood and IV fluids warming methods over the past few decades.
