Article Synopsis
- Recent studies have explored the link between intra-operative hypothermia and surgical site infections (SSI), with varying results due to factors like the type and timing of hypothermia during surgery.
- In a study of 1,409 gastroenterology patients, 37.5% experienced hypothermia, with findings showing that severe hypothermia led to a higher SSI rate compared to normothermic patients.
- Although severe and late-nadir hypothermia showed increased SSI incidence, neither was identified as an independent risk factor for SSIs in the multivariable analysis.
