You seemed to have covered all bases I can think of. Totally unacceptable for shouting at you though, if he&#39;s so clever then ask him what you missed?!!</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/174089?ContentTypeID=1Wed, 13 Feb 2019 07:44:04 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:282f0d90-5aac-445a-979a-b253b1f7603dmurphy-x<p>Our surgeon is very particular about the air con and according to him if we don&#39;t have it on then the potential infection rate increases, I have tried to turn it off in the past! I might have to have a journal search to see if I can prove him otherwise.&nbsp;</p> <p>The temperature went down slightly during the procedure and I added more heat packs around the patient and added bubble wrap over the feet on front legs and then re-wrapped with socks. Monitor temp&nbsp;every 10mins using an oesophageal&nbsp;thermometer probe as could not access&nbsp;anus due to the sterile field.&nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/174079?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 11 Feb 2019 14:18:30 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:006a95e3-bfbe-4d49-a385-8c097e1e5ef8molladog<p>jojofruits wrote the following post at Mon, Feb 11 2019 12:42 PM:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>turn off the aircon</p> <p>patients first even if you are a bit hot...</p> <p>Definitely agree with this bit...&hellip;&hellip;&hellip;&hellip;..<img src="/emoticons/new/Thumbs_up.png" alt="Thumbs up" /></p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/174075?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 11 Feb 2019 12:42:19 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:ffdf9084-d97e-4ceb-814b-d4d7bc91fbe6jojofruits<p>turn off the aircon</p> <p>patients first even if you are a bit hot...</p> <p>did the temperature go down during the procedure? how often are you measuring it? did you take steps to sort it out if you noticed it was dropping?</p> <p>No excuse for shouting at you though!</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
