Impact of a Global Warming Strategy of the Patient on the Prevalence of Hypothermia in the Recovering Room

Recruiting now · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Hypothermia; Anesthesia, Perioperative/Postoperative Complications

In brief

50% of patients are hypothermic when they arrive in the recovery room. This hypothermia is potentially at risk for the patient (increases bleeding, risk of infection, risk of cardiac involvement, morbid mortality) and 33,2% steel hypothermic when they discharge from the recovering room. The anesthesia team must prevent these risks through prevention and treatment measures. Currently the majority of patient warming is done only in the operating room, we want to measure the impact of the extension of this warming before and after the surgery on the patient's temperature and on side effects related to hypothermia.
