Abstract

This study revealed a high magnitude of intraoperative hypothermia among pediatric patients. Being neonates and infants, having a cold volume of IV fluid administered greater than half a liter, entering surgery during the morning, the duration of surgery, and the anesthesia time were significantly associated with intraoperative hypothermia. The authors would like to advise anesthetists to use warm intravenous fluids, calculate IV fluids, and maintain room temperature.
