Automode simplifies the delivery of care and maximizes the temperature management experience to aid both patient and clinician alike.

Patients lose their ability to regulate temperature under general anesthesia, become hypothermic without effective active warming, and are at risk to many adverse outcomes including higher infection rates, more blood loss, and more cardiac events. Therefore, it is important to know what the patient's core temperature is to inform care decisions. Fortunately, the HotDog Temperature Management System is perfectly suited to helping patients attain and maintain normothermia and thus, reducing of the many complications associated with hypothermia.

The patient’s core temperature data can be used to feed the management outputs and automatically adjust the set temperatures of the blankets and mattress. This Auto Mode function utilizes psychological closed loop principles and integrates a number of safety features.

HotDog Temperature Management Controllers can be used with one of our Esophageal/ Rectal probes or Esophageal Stethoscopes and an adapter cable to display the patient’s core temperature on the controller. The patient’s core temperature is conveniently found near the temperature settings for the blankets and mattresses. Automode can be easily selected on the screen to warm to a targeted core temperature. The temperature data can also still be transmitted to a monitor or electronic medical record using an adapter cable connecting the HotDog controller to that device.

Thanks for watching!
