Prevalence of Inadvertent Perioperative Hypothermia and Associated Factors: A Cross-Sectional Study

Abstract: Inadvertent perioperative hypothermia, defined as a body temperature <36.0°C, is a common outcome of anesthesia that can cause serious consequences to patients. The aim of this study is to determine the prevalence of inadvertent hypothermia among surgical procedures from two referral centers in Brazil and to identify sociodemographic, clinical, or surgery-related predictors of hypothermia. This is a cross-sectional study, conducted at two public hospitals in Brasília, Brazil. After the exclusion of 109 patient… Show more

“…Though international standards [ 1 , 10 ] have highlighted the importance of assessing for hypothermia risk in order to plan for perioperative thermal care, few clinical models have attempted to predict perioperative temperature by far [ 16 , 26 , 27 ], and validation of these rules has been limited [ 16 , 26 , 27 ]. Clinical guidelines [ 1 , 28 ] have also long established that all surgical patients should be maintaining normothermia via routine temperature measurement and active warming; however, compliance with the guidelines remains poor [ 11 13 ], even in developed Western countries, possibly due to unawareness of temperature management [ 12 , 13 , 29 ] and restricted healthcare resources [ 12 , 29 ].…”

“…Intraoperative hypothermia is defined as a core body temperature of less than 36°C in patients undergoing anesthesia and surgery [ 1 6 ]. An incidence of the condition has been reported between 20% and 90%, depending on the surgical and the demographic factors of the patient [ 2 , 3 ]. The adverse effects and complications of intraoperative hypothermia include cardiac arrhythmia, wound infection, postoperative pain, shivering, metabolic disturbances, and prolonged hospitalization [ 1 6 ].…”

“…The incidence of inadvertent intraoperative hypothermia is reported to be between 20% and 90%, depending on the surgical population and demographic characteristics of the patients [1,2]. Inadvertent intraoperative hypothermia is defined as a core body temperature of <36 • C in patients undergoing surgery under general anesthesia [1][2][3][4][5][6].…”

Inadvertent intraoperative hypothermia is defined as a core body temperature of <36 • C in patients undergoing surgery under general anesthesia [1][2][3][4][5][6]. The consequences of intraoperative hypothermia include increased incidence of postoperative adverse events, such as surgical-site infection, pain, and prolonged recovery and hospitalization [1][2][3][4][5][6].…”
