5 Inflate the blanket before tying the drawstrings. Refer to
Step 6, on page 17 for more information.
Note: Do not tie the drawstrings too tightly. Ensure airflow
moves freely through the blanket.
6 Tie the drawstrings around the patient’s arms (c) to prevent
the blanket from moving.
7 If desired, place a light weight blanket over the convective
warming blanket.
8 If desired, carefully lay the clear head drape loosely over the
patients’s head.
Note: Do not cover the patient's head with clear drape if the
patient is not intubated and ventilated.
