What is a Bair Hugger?
The Bair Hugger is a forced air circulating system used to help anesthetized patients maintain proper body temperature by forcing warm temperature air through a blanket placed over the patient.
Why is Bair Hugger Dangerous?
It is believed that Bair Hugger causes serious infections by blowing bacteria from the operating room floor onto and into a surgical patient’s open wounds. Patients undergoing surgery for hip and knee replacement may be especially susceptible. These post-surgical infections are serious and potentially life-threatening and often require extensive treatments including additional surgeries.
