Go beyond “turn the warmer on” and really understand what’s happening to your patients’ temperature under anesthesia. This course walks nurse anesthesiologists through core thermoregulatory physiology, how anesthesia and the OR environment disrupt it, and the real-world consequences of perioperative hypothermia and hyperthermia—including malignant hyperthermia, coagulopathy, cardiac risk, and delayed emergence. You’ll review monitoring strategies, active and passive warming techniques, and practical, evidence-based approaches to maintaining normothermia across diverse populations (pediatrics, geriatrics, obstetrics), so you can prevent complications and tighten up your perioperative outcomes.
