Hip Arthroscopy and Hypothermia

Anesthesia for hip arthroscopy: a narrative review

“…47 In their observational study (n = 73), Parodi et al report a 2.7% incidence of hypothermia (temperature \ 35°C) in patients undergoing hip arthroscopy for the treatment of FAI. 55 In that study, they identified prolonged surgery time, low body mass index, perioperative hypotension, and low temperature of irrigation fluid as factors contributing to the development of hypothermia. 55 In a follow-up study, the authors identified a fourfold reduction in hypothermia when irrigation fluid was warmed to 32°C.…”

Clinical Issues—December 2017

“…The AORN publication “Guideline for prevention of unplanned patient hypothermia” recommends that “[i]rrigation solutions warmed to 33° C to 40° C (91.4° F to 104° F) may be used.” 1(p580) The guideline does not discuss specific solutions or procedure types. Evidence indicates that the use of warmed irrigation fluid is effective in reducing the incidence or degree of hypothermia 2‐7 …”
