    Summary

    Operating room temperature significantly impacts patient body temperature during anesthesia. Lower temperatures increase hypothermia and chills, while higher temperatures maintain normothermia but pose infection risks.

    Area of Science:

    • Anesthesiology
    • Physiology
    • Patient Safety

    Context:

    • Patient temperature management is crucial during surgical procedures.
    • Operating room environmental conditions directly influence patient thermoregulation.
    • Hypothermia and chills are common complications in anesthesia.

    Purpose:

    • To investigate the relationship between operating room temperature and patient core body temperature.
    • To determine the threshold for hypothermia and associated chills.
    • To assess the influence of operating room temperature on intra-anesthetic thermal balance.

    Summary:

    • Oesophageal temperature was monitored in relation to operating room conditions.
    • Low temperatures (<21°C) led to hypothermia in all patients.

  • Intermediate (21-24°C) and high (>24°C) temperatures resulted in normothermia, though high temperatures increased septic risk.

    • Impact:

    • Findings highlight the critical role of operating room temperature control in preventing hypothermia and chills.
    • Maintaining optimal operating room temperatures can reduce patient morbidity and improve outcomes.
    • Understanding these thermal dynamics aids in developing better patient safety protocols.
