Background: Hypothermia is a common perioperative problem that can lead to severe complications. We evaluated whether a heated mattress (HM) is superior to a warm air blanket (WA) in preventing perioperative hypothermia in patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA) or total knee arthroplasty (TKA).
Methods: A retrospective cohort study was performed in a teaching hospital and data were collected for all patients undergoing THA or TKA between January 1, 2015 and May 1, 2022.
