Additional Information for Blood Warmer Extension Tubing
Blood warmer extension tubing is a type of medical equipment used in healthcare settings, specifically in the field of blood transfusion and intravenous therapy. It is classified under the supply class "Medical And Surgical Instruments, Equipment, And Supplies" and belongs to the supply group "Medical, Dental, And Veterinary Equipment And Supplies."
Blood warmer extension tubing is designed to connect a blood warmer device to the patient's intravenous (IV) line. The purpose of using a blood warmer is to prevent hypothermia (low body temperature) during blood transfusions or other intravenous therapies. Cold blood or fluids can cause adverse reactions in patients, such as vasoconstriction, coagulation abnormalities, and increased risk of infection.
The extension tubing is typically made of medical-grade materials and is compatible with standard IV tubing systems. It allows the blood or fluids to pass through the blood warmer, which warms them to a safe temperature before reaching the patient's bloodstream. This helps maintain the patient's body temperature and prevents any potential complications associated with hypothermia.
Blood warmer extension tubing is an essential component in healthcare facilities, particularly in operating rooms, intensive care units, emergency departments, and blood banks. It ensures the safe and effective administration of blood products and intravenous therapies while minimizing the risk of hypothermia-related complications.
When selecting blood warmer extension tubing, it is important to consider factors such as compatibility with the blood warmer device, length, diameter, and any additional features required for specific patient needs or medical procedures.
