HIPEC Hardships
Junior SRNA doing a HIPEC today, and I’ve historically struggled to keep the patient cool despite following department protocol to the letter. Today’s patient is quite small, which I’ve found makes it harder to cool as they seem to heat up faster. I plan to cool to 35°C prior, run the forced air at room temp, place ice packs at groins and axillae, and ice down a couple bottles of 5% albumin and LR to run in as needed. Any other tips?
