Blood and fluid warming system, or a blood and fluid warmer, is a medical device that is used in the healthcare settings to warm fluids, colloid, crystalloid, or blood product, prior to being administered to body temperature to avoid hypothermia especially in patients who are critically injured or recuperating from surgery. The system heats the circulating fluid to ensure fluid or blood is delivered to the patient at a temperature able to maintain normothermia. Blood and fluid warming system is used to warm blood or other fluids to reduce the risk of hypothermia. It is essential to warm it to an appropriate temperature not only to prevent hypothermia but also to prevent hemolysis, or breakdown of the blood cells.
