Postoperative hypothermia after total aortic arch replacement in acute type A aortic dissection-multivariate analysis and risk identification for postoperative hypothermia occurrence.

Conclusions: The incidence of PH after total arch replacement in acute type A aortic dissection is relatively low. The independent risk factors of PH in this population include age and the intraoperative lowest bladder temperature. With comprehensive rewarming strategy upon arrival at the ICU, the PH is easy to be corrected, and the adverse effect of transient PH on early outcomes after arch surgery is minimal.
