We have radiant warmers on the ceiling of each bay, set to 72 Farenheit.

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?
