Abstract:
The performance of the Stihler 1FT 200 blood warmer was evaluated at flow rates from 25 to 150 ml/minute and compared with that of the Hetotherm and Fenwal warmers. The Fenwal proved to be an efficient apparatus at all flow rates but the performance of the Hetotherm fell off slightly at higher flow rates. The Stihler 1FT 200 did not meet requirements for use in the operating room.
