Patients who undergo abdominal surgery under general anesthesia develop hypothermia in
80–90% of the cases within an hour after induction of anesthesia. Side effects include …

The exposure to extreme temperatures in workplaces involves physical hazards for workers.
A poorly acclimated worker may have lower performance and vigilance and therefore may …

Background Inadvertent intraoperative hypothermia is frequent during open surgeries;
however, few studies on hypothermia during laparoscopic abdominal surgery have been …

Background: The incidence of intraoperative hypothermia is still high despite the proposal of
different preventive measures during thoracoscopic surgery. This randomized control study …

Background: Pre-warming prevents perioperative hypothermia. We evaluated the current
clinical practice of pre-warming and its effects on temperature drop and postoperative …

Objective Inadvertent perioperative hypothermia has been associated with poor surgical
outcomes. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the incidence and associated …

Background We compared upper-and lower-body forced-air blankets in terms of their ability
to prevent perioperative hypothermia, defined as a reduction in body temperature to< 36.0 …

Inadvertent hypothermia, defined as a body temperature lower than 36° C, remains to be a
critical issue during the perioperative period. Despite of the development of the active …

Perioperative hypothermia causes postoperative complications. Prewarming reduces body
temperature decrease in long-term surgeries. We aimed to assess the effect of different time …

Background This study sought to implement evidence-based nursing practices for patients
undergoing laparoscopy surgery to prevent unplanned hypothermia, to develop review …
