We do not keep the temp warmer than other rooms, but we did have facilities
take those rooms off of the central computer control and we are able to
raise it fairly quickly(5-6 minutes).  Staff is warm and complain but at
least the pt stays warm.

Do any of you keep the ambient temperature in your trauma resus rooms
warmer than other rooms (considering 70-72F/21-22C to be the typical room
temp)?  If so, how warm do you keep them?  If not, do you have the
capability to raise the room temp quickly when a trauma patient is en
route?
