Incidence of Postoperative Hypothermia and Associated Factors in Adult Patients Undergoing Surgery in Siriraj Hospital
In Brief
An observational study for Hypothermia Following Anesthesia. Completed, enrolled 742 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Inadvertent postanesthetic hypothermia is unintentional drop in core body temperature \<36C (96.8F) immediately following an operation, caused by multiple factors, and had lead to negative outcomes. In our institute, a study in 2011 reported an incidence of postoperative hypothermia in PACU of 45.4% (95% CI 39.61%- 51.23%). After that, various interventions aimed to prevent perioperative hypothermia were implemented. This study is initiated to determine the incidence of postoperative hypothermia and associated factors of postoperative hypothermia in adult patients underwent surgery at Siriraj hospital.
