Background: Coaxial fluid warmers directly heat the tubing surrounding the infusate right up to the intravenous cannula of the patient. This study examined whether the heating capability of one such fluid warmer, the Autoline, could be further increased by using pre-heated infusions as well as using a specifically designed warm-plated infusion holder, the Autotherm, which surrounds the bottled infusions.

Methods: The final temperatures of crystalloid infusates were measured at the end of the Autoline tubing. With the initial infusion temperatures being kept at either 20 degrees C or 36 degrees C, the subsequent measurements took place at 7 different flow rates between 50 and 1000 ml/h. Using the 36 degrees C pre-heated crystalloid group, further separate measurements were also undertaken by additionally installing the Autotherm. All measurements took place at a constant room temperature of 20 de...
