Summary

Perioperative hypothermia, or low body temperature during surgery, can alter blood cell counts. Maintaining normal body temperature during surgery is recommended for optimal patient care.

Area of Science:

  • Anesthesiology
  • Surgical Care
  • Patient Monitoring

Background:

  • Perioperative hypothermia is linked to increased morbidity and mortality.
  • Hypothermia can lead to coagulopathy, cardiovascular, and metabolic issues.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the extent of perioperative hypothermia.
  • To evaluate the clinical and laboratory consequences of hypothermia.
  • To compare the effects of heated versus non-heated infusions.

Main Methods:

  • 30 patients undergoing colorectal cancer surgery were divided into two groups.
  • One group received heated infusions; the other received non-heated infusions.
  • Central/peripheral temperatures, recovery time, comfort, analgesics, and lab parameters were monitored.

Main Results:

  • Non-heated infusions resulted in more pronounced and prolonged hypothermia.
  • Significant alterations in leucocyte and thrombocyte counts were observed in the non-heated group.
  • No significant differences in other parameters or serious complications were noted.

Conclusions:

  • While no severe complications occurred, hypothermia negatively impacted leucocyte and thrombocyte counts.
  • Active measures to maintain perioperative body temperature are recommended.
  • Maintaining normothermia should be standard perioperative care.
