Objective: Inconsistent evidence exists regarding the association between intraoperative hypothermia and incidence of surgical site infection (SSI). This study aimed to determine the association between intraoperative hypothermia and SSI.
Materials And Methods: A systematic review was conducted using Embase, PubMed, and Web of Science to identify observational studies evaluating the risk of SSI in patients with intraoperative hypothermia. The primary outcome measure was the diagnosis of SSI within 30 days of surgery. The pooled risk ratio was estimated using a fixed- or random-effect meta-analysis. Sensitivity analyses were performed to examine the impact of the structural design of preoperative warming on the pooled risk of SSI.
Results: Five studies representing 6,002 patients were included in the present meta-analysis. Intraoperative hypothermia was not associated with SSI risk in patients (HR = 1.22, 95% CI: 0.95-2.24, = 0.119). The pooled hazard ratio showed that intraoperative hypothermia did not result in a higher risk of SSI.
Conclusions: Intraoperative hypothermia was not associated with the risk of SSI. Further studies using objective exposure measurements are required to confirm these results.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of limiting increases in theatre ambient temperature to 27°C to prevent intraoperative patient hypothermia.
Methods: This single-centre, comparative cohort clinical study investigated the management of theatre ambient temperatures involving patients with ≥ 20 % TBSA burn injuries at Victorian Adult Burns Service (Melbourne, Australia). Data from the intervention group (August 2021 - February 2023, theatre ambient temperature increase limited to 27°C) was compared with a historical cohort (August 2019 - August 2021).
Assessing Use and Familiarity of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery Elements in Pediatric Orthognathic Surgery.

Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols have informed perioperative care across multiple surgical specialties, optimizing patient outcomes through surgical stress management and accelerated recovery. This study evaluates the familiarity and adoption of ERAS elements among craniofacial and oral and maxillofacial surgeons in pediatric orthognathic surgery, a field where a formal ERAS protocol has not been established. A closed-ended survey of 102 surgeons was conducted to assess familiarity with and utilization of 14 ERAS elements.

Background: Although maintaining a stable body temperature during the perioperative period is crucial for the recovery of neonates, hypothermia frequently occurs during surgical procedures in this vulnerable population. A comprehensive analysis of intraoperative details, including medical history and monitoring, is therefore essential for understanding temperature variations and identifying risk factors for severe hypothermia.
Objective: In this study, we delineated the characteristic patterns of intraoperative temperature fluctuations in neonates and determined the risk factors impacting the severity of hypothermia.
What is the minimum time interval for reporting of intraoperative core body temperature measurements in pediatric anesthesia? A secondary analysis.

Given that perioperative normothermia represents a quality parameter in pediatric anesthesia, numerous studies have been conducted on temperature measurement, albeit with heterogeneous measurement intervals, ranging from 30 s to fifteen minutes. We aimed to determine the minimum time interval for reporting of intraoperative core body temperature across commonly used measurement intervals in children. Data were extracted from the records of 65 children who had participated in another clinical study and analyzed using a quasibinomial mixed linear model.

Continuous electrocardiographic (ECG) monitoring remains crucial during surgery in infants and children. Although generally uncommon in pediatric-aged patients, ECG changes may occasionally be indicative of a variety of myocardial pathologies including anomalous origin of coronary arteries, ventricular hypertrophy, myocarditis, hypothermia, drug effects, electrolyte abnormalities, acid-base disturbances or conduction system disorders such as Wolff-Parkinson-White and Brugada syndrome. Distinguishing between pathologic and non-pathologic conditions impacting the ECG must be considered so that appropriate interventions are provided to prevent perioperative morbidity and mortality.
