Interventions for Treating Inadvertent Postoperative Hypothermia
Abstract:
Postoperative hypothermia is the drop in body heat that occurs in patients within the postoperative setting, resulting from the surgery, surgical environment and/or anaesthetic drugs administered (Warttig et al 2014). Interventions for treating inadvertent postoperative hypothermia are useful for any general nurse responsible for postoperative care. When a patient's body temperature drops after surgery, the postoperative staff must act to re-establish the patient's body temperature to avoid associated physical complications. This review considered the interventions that are available to re-establish a patient's body temperature.
