[Risk factors for postoperative hypothermia in the post-anesthetic care unit: a prospective prognostic pilot study].

CONCLUSION: In conclusion, this pilot study showed that perioperative hypothermia is still a prevalent problem in our anesthetic practice. More than half of the analyzed patients presented hypothermia through postoperative care unit admission. We have demonstrated the feasibility of a large, multicenter, cross-sectional study of postoperative hypothermia in the post-anesthetic care unit. PMID: 30685072 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
