Preventing perioperative hypothermia is crucial for better patient outcomes. Effective thermal management strategies, including prewarming and active warming, minimize risks like myocardial events and infections.

Area of Science:

  • Anesthesiology
  • Perioperative Medicine
  • Thermoregulation

Context:

  • Perioperative hypothermia negatively impacts patient outcomes.
  • Causes include heat redistribution and negative heat balance.
  • Adverse effects include increased myocardial events, blood loss, transfusion needs, and wound infections.

Purpose:

  • To outline effective thermal management strategies for preventing perioperative hypothermia.
  • To highlight the importance of preoperative and intraoperative warming measures.

Summary:

  • Adequate thermal management involves preoperative and intraoperative interventions.
  • Prewarming enhances peripheral tissue heat content, reducing core-to-peripheral heat loss post-anesthesia induction.
  • Intraoperative measures include active skin warming over large body areas and warming intravenous fluids (>500-1000 ml/h).

Impact:

  • Implementing these strategies can mitigate risks associated with perioperative hypothermia.
  • Improved thermoregulation leads to reduced adverse myocardial outcomes, decreased blood loss, and fewer surgical site infections.
