Há Risco de Êmbolos durante a Infusão com o Uso de Aquecedores com Linhas de Aquecimento de Sangue e Líquidos?

Abstract

In the experimental setting, we have designed conditions similar to our clinical environment. Both types of warmers provided similar warming levels and formed visible bubbles. Considering that low amounts of emboli can be fatal in infants and children, bubble formation should be taken seriously into account for emboli and further studies should be carried out to determine the amount, the reasons and the contents of bubble formation.
