Prevention of Intraoperative Hypothermia in Laparoscopy by the Use of Body-Temperature and Humidified CO2: a Pilot Study

Abstract: Introduction Hypothermia is defined as a decrease in body core temperature to below 36 °C. If intraoperative heat-preserving measures are omitted, a patientʼs temperature will fall by 1 – 2 °C. Even mild forms of intraoperative hypothermia can lead to a marked increase in morbidity and mortality. The temperature of the insufflation gas is usually disregarded in the treatment and prevention of hypothermia. This study was conducted to investigate the effect of body-temperature and humidified CO2 on the intraoper… Show more

“…This may be due to the fact that their sample size with ten patients per group was too small. The findings confirm our previously published results of a retrospective case-control analysis underlining the positive effect of the addition of warm and humidified gas insufflation [13].…”

“…The explanation lies within the pathophysiology of anaesthesia induction: The inhibition of vasoconstriction has the effect of core-to-peripheral redistribution of body heat, decreasing core temperature. This can best be antagonized via prewarming and external forced air warming [13,28,30]. After this redistribution, which causes the greatest heat loss, the effect of warm, humidified gas insufflation can kick in.…”

“…This article describes parts of this TePaLa trial (the effects on body temperature have not been published yet). The TePaLa trial is based on a retrospective pilot study showing the preventive effect of body temperature and humidified CO 2 on intraoperative hypothermia compared to room temperature and dry gas in laparoscopy that lasted at least 60 min [ 21 ]. As perception of postoperative pain was likely to be influenced by pre-existing endometriosis, the data were stratified for this disorder.…”
