Combination of warming blanket and prewarmed intravenous infusion is effective for rewarming in infants with postoperative hypothermia in China

Postoperative hypothermia in the postanesthesia care unit (PACU) in neonates and infants is a well‐known serious complication as it can increase the risk of blood loss, wound infections, and cardiac arrhythmias.
