After a 2 week evaluation, we went with the Thermal Angel, mainly due to their new lightweight battery. Plus it was faster/easier to setup, and was a more intuative system. Performed great. Kept the infusate warm the whole time. EMS folks can get them through Bound Tree; not sure about hospital customers though. Anyway here's the new system: http://www.thermalangel.com/html/products/catalog/Ultra-Battery-1.html

thanks for the replies. we are currently in the process of investigating a couple of portable warmers for our ambulances. the one's we have used in the past have not maintained a constant temp. we started measuring too see and were surprised. yes, a cabinet or heating pad is better than nothing. we are looking at enflow and thermal angel since they both are battery powered. keep you posted on the evaluation.

Is anyone still using warmed fluids? I know the buzz lately is induced hypothermia for some cases, but we still have a lot of patients with low core temps that need quick re-warming. Also, what do you use? Thanks, DN, EMT
