Abstract ABSTRACT We conclude that intraoperative hypothermia is relatively frequent complication that can have adverse physiological effects. Maintenance of normothermia during anesthesia and surgery decreases the overall morbidty. Intraoperative hypothermia could be prevented or at least decreased by using one or more of different methods for this purpose. Several institutions have been developing policies on IPH in the recent years. Practices recommended for the management of IPH focus on interventions to maintain or restore normothermia and on regular patient follow-up. The guidelines provide a number of recommendations for preventing pre-, intra-, and postoperative hypothermia. Although the guidelines differ minutely from one another, in general, they recommend identifying patients at risk of hypothermia, monitoring and recording body temperature regularly with reliable body temperature measurement methods in the perioperative period, maintaining optimal ambient temperatures in perioperative care environments, and practicing active heating methods to prevent heat loss or to facilitate heat gain. In this study we used amino acid infusion method to decrease intraoperative hypothermia and postoperative shivering and it was successful. |
