[Mild intraoperative hypothermia. Another risk factor for postoperative complications].

Intraoperative mild hypothermia (core temperature 35-36 degrees) is common during major surgical procedures. Recent studies have shown that hypothermia may be related to the development of postoperative serious complications such as impaired platelet function with increased blood loss and transfusion requirements, postoperative morbid cardiac events, impaired wound healing, and prolonged hospitalization. Core hypothermia during surgery should therefore receive more attention as a risk factor for postoperative complications. The most effective prevention of intraoperative hypothermia is forced air warming combined with the infusion of warm fluids. The paper gives clinical guidelines for monitoring and prevention of intraoperative core hypothermia.
