Perioperative body temperature maintenance and occurrence of surgical site infection: A systematic review with meta-analysis
2020, American Journal of Infection ControlCitation Excerpt :Using these methods increases the total heat content of the patient's body by increasing heat production or transferring heat from external warming sources.34 In the perioperative period, the recommendation of measures for the maintenance of normothermia gained momentum from the 1990s and early 2000s due to the results from different studies, in which the authors compared active warming methods with passive methods for preventing hypothermia or analyzed the complications arising from the occurrence of this event.7,35-37 However, with the advancement in knowledge, studies in which the researchers investigated a comparison between active warming methods or different application forms to active warming methods only implemented in the intraoperative period may be highlighted.27,29-31
