We report the case of a 3-year-old boy who underwent correction of transposition of the great arteries who developed burns from use of a patient warming device. His repair had been delayed because he was from a developing country, and he was offered surgery as part of a humanitarian effort. Postoperatively he was noted to have second- and third-degree burns from use of a Bair Hugger (Augustine Medical, Eden Prairie, MN) warming system after cardiopulmonary bypass.
