Warm as much surface area as possible. Warming the core is more effective than the periphery. Can use a mattress and up to two blankets simultaneously.

SENSOR CONTACT THIN BARRIER

Use the thinnest barrier possible between the patient and the warming blanket. Examples include: patient’s gown, sterile plastic drape, or single-layer cotton sheet. Do not use a blanket, as it restricts heat transfer.
