Warmed fluids in the bus

[Anthony Caruso]

Oh yes, we do have fluid warmers in the ambulance's here in Massachusetts.
They can accommodate 2 1000M/L bags or 4 to 5 500M/L bags.  Or a combination
of both.  I do know of some systems that use the defroster of the windshield
to keep there fluid warm as well.  They are rotated out once 30 days have
passed or until they get used.  With both methods I'm not sure of what the
exact tempters may reach.  Dose anyone have any suggestions on what optimal
fluid tempters should be when the colder weather is upon us?  Thanks'
