    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Maintaining patient temperature during surgery is crucial. Heated, humidified anesthetic gases, especially combined with a warming blanket, effectively prevent hypothermia in patients undergoing major vascular surgery.

    Area of Science:

    • Anesthesiology
    • Surgical Patient Care
    • Thermoregulation

    Background:

    • Perioperative hypothermia increases postoperative oxygen demand, posing risks to patients with limited cardiopulmonary reserves.
    • Maintaining normothermia during anesthesia and surgery is critical for patient safety.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the effectiveness of different warming methods in preventing hypothermia during major vascular surgery.
    • To compare the efficacy of warming blankets and humidified heated inspired gases (HHIG) alone and in combination.

    Main Methods:

    • A study involving 80 patients undergoing intra-abdominal aortic or peripheral vascular surgery.
    • Patients were assigned to four groups: warming blanket, HHIG, combined warming, or no active warming.
    • Core body temperature was monitored throughout the procedures.

    Main Results:

    • A warming blanket alone provided no significant protection against hypothermia compared to no warming.
    • Humidified heated inspired gases (HHIG) significantly improved heat preservation after 2 hours in abdominal surgery patients (P < 0.05).
    • The combination of HHIG and a warming blanket offered superior heat preservation, showing significant benefits after 40 minutes (P < 0.05).

    Conclusions:

    • Humidified heated inspired gases are effective in preventing hypothermia during vascular surgery.
    • Combining HHIG with a warming blanket provides the most effective method for maintaining normothermia in these patients.
    • Preventing intraoperative hypothermia is essential for optimizing patient outcomes in major vascular procedures.
