About
Ellen Margrethe Schroeder is a leading researcher in perioperative nursing and patient safety, with a focused expertise in thermal management during surgery. Her work addresses the critical challenge of preventing inadvertent perioperative hypothermia, a condition that significantly increases the risk of surgical complications. Schroeder’s major contribution lies in evaluating and advancing passive warming technologies. In her highly influential 2015 study, "Comparing New‐Technology Passive Warming Versus Traditional Passive Warming Methods for Optimizing Perioperative Body Core Temperature," she demonstrated that traditional methods—such as cotton blankets—are largely ineffective, while innovative passive warming systems can effectively sustain normothermia throughout surgery. This research, which has garnered 12 citations, has shaped clinical guidelines and informed evidence-based practice in operating rooms worldwide. By bridging the gap between engineering and bedside care, Schroeder has helped reduce patient morbidity and improve recovery outcomes. Her work stands as a vital resource for clinicians and researchers striving to enhance perioperative safety through simple, non-invasive interventions.
