- Surgical site infections (SSIs) are a common issue in hospitals, contributing to complications and increased healthcare costs, but the link between hypothermia and SSIs remains unclear.
- This study involved 183 adult patients undergoing elective laparotomy, divided into those experiencing hypothermia (<36°C) and those who maintained normal temperature during surgery.
- The results indicated no significant difference in SSI rates between the hypothermia group (10%) and the normothermia group (10.8%), suggesting that hypothermia may not significantly impact the risk of developing SSIs.
