Some surgeons also use active cooling systems. The patient is being actively warmed and the surgeon, gowned and gloved, is cooled. The anaesthesiologist is juuuust right.
- saganus 10y agoWhy would it help a surgeon to be cool? for the regular reason that everyone works better when at a comfortable temp or due to a specific medical reason?
- sp332 10y agoMaybe so sweat doesn't get in their eyes? Just a guess though.
- niels_olson 10y agoIt gets hot under the sterile gown, cap, gloves, face mask. 12 hour surgery and it can get quite uncomfortable.
- kobeya 10y agolots of lights in their work area too.
- keerthiko 10y agoI would imagine being at the right body temperature also helps them keep their hands steady and not get itchy or twitchy.
- pvaldes 10y agoThus you can avoid a second worker focusing into remove your sweat regularly and stopping the surgeon "flow". Fighting against contagious diseases would be much easier if you don't feel the urge to remove your mask each five seconds. Respect to the robot, what about aluminium oxides?
