About

Perioperative hypothermia is associated with many complications, including surgical site infections, delayed wound healing, coagulopathy, prolonged hospital and intensive care unit length of stay. Perioperative close monitoring of the body temperature is important, and this is recommended by many clinical practice guidelines. In this study the investigators aimed to detect the incidence of perioperative hypothermia in pediatric patients in the operating room, and to detect the possible associated risk factors.
