    A Pharmacological Way to Treat Perioperative Hypothermia
    Surgical Infection
    Increased Bleeding
    Poor Wound Healing

    Perioperative hypothermia can increase surgical site infections leading to longer hospital stays and increased comorbidities

    Intraoperative hypothermia can increase blood loss and the use of expensive blood products and associated complications

    Peioperative hypothermia can impair wound healing resulting in costly readmissions
