Using Blankets in Healthcare Settings
Hospital blankets are designed for use in patient care settings, like emergency rooms, ICUs, clinics, and long term care facilities. Patient blankets should be comfortable and warm, but also durable and easy to maintain. The size and material of the blanket is dependent on the specific setting it is being used in. Most hospital beds utilize twin bedspreads and blankets, while long term care facilities may use full size or queen bedspreads and blankets. 

Purpose of Blankets in Hospitals
On top of comfort and warmth, hospital blankets are a warm welcome for patients in a setting which can be quite stressful. A cozy blanket can help relieve some stress and increase feelings of security. Blankets are crucial in regulating patients' body temperatures, especially in serious cases of illness or ailment. They also double as privacy protectors, as they can be used to give patients some privacy. One of the top concerns for hospitals are hospital-acquired infections. Patients come in with one illness, and end up developing others while recieving care. For this reason, blankets are a part of infection control in hospitals because they can act as fomites if not treated properly. Most healthcare centers have strict rules for laundering hospital bedding and blankets to ensure they are sanitized and handles properly before, during, and after patient use. Many hospital blankets are fluid-resistant, to limit bodily fluid transfer.
