Best of CSF 2023 - Karina Spoyalo on Perioperative Warming Techniques

Cold Steel: Canadian Journal of Surgery Podcast

We still got more in the vault from CSF 2023! In this episode, Dr. Spoyalo talked about her work on perioperative warming at Vancouver General Hospital. Listen to the work she's done to understand what goes on for warming (most patients have 11 blankets!) and the modeling she's done to figure out the most effective techniques for warming.

Another example of the amazing work being done through Dr. Andrea MacNeill's Planetary Health Lab!
