    Area of Science:

    • Medical Devices
    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Therapeutic Technologies

    Background:

    • Hospitals frequently require rapid warming of solutions for infusions, peritoneal irrigation, and transfusion.
    • Existing warming methods can be time-consuming and inconvenient, especially during off-hours.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and evaluate a rapid warming method for medical solutions using an electronic range.
    • To assess the safety and efficiency of this method for various medical applications.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized a 600 W electronic range to warm 1 liter of saline solution from 24.5°C to 37.0°C.
    • Investigated the relationship between wattage, volume, and warming time.
    • Assessed the impact of rapid warming on whole blood and biological samples (fish).

    Main Results:

    • Achieved warming of 1 liter of saline to body temperature in just two minutes.
    • Demonstrated that warming time is inversely proportional to wattage and can be precisely determined.
    • Confirmed no adverse changes in whole blood and no harm to biological organisms from the electronic range's heating mechanism.

    Conclusions:

    • The electronic range provides a fast, efficient, and safe method for warming medical solutions.
    • This technique eliminates the need for cumbersome traditional warming procedures in healthcare settings.
    • The method offers a significant improvement in managing temperature-sensitive medical fluids.
