Nurse Anesthetists' and Operating Theater Nurses' Experiences with Inadvertent Hypothermia in Clinical Perioperative Nursing Care.

CONCLUSIONS: Complications caused by inadvertent hypothermia in surgical patients can lead to unnecessary suffering and prolong the hospital stay. The surgical team's cooperation and responsibility are linked to routine nursing interventions. These depend on the nurses' knowledge and experience as well as their clinical and subjective assessment of the patient's physical condition and the surgical techniques used.
