The increase in blood transfusion procedures will increase the patient warming devices market value from 2017 to 2021. The loss of blood caused by severe injuries drives the need for blood transfusion during emergency treatments and surgeries. To avoid any complications during blood transfusion, the temperature of the blood is brought to body temperature by using a fluid or blood warmer. CDC stated that during 2016, more than 250,000 heart bypass procedures were carried out using heating-cooling devices in the US. These blood and fluid warming devices are still gaining popularity in the market as they are used to prevent hypothermia during surgeries.
