How common is low body temperature after surgery in recovery?
This study looks at how common low body temperature (hypothermia) is after surgery in recovery rooms. It aims to help improve patient care by measuring temperature changes and related outcomes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an adult scheduled for surgery that does not involve the heart.
- Your anesthesia is expected to last more than 60 minutes.
- You will receive general anesthesia, spinal/epidural anesthesia, or a combination of general and nerve block anesthesia.
- You are generally healthy or have only mild to moderate health conditions (ASA I-III).
- You do not have an active infection at the time of surgery.
- You are able to understand the study information and provide written consent.

This study aims to predict which children might get too cold during surgery under general anesthesia lasting more than 30 minutes. It's trying to create a simple checklist to help doctors keep kids warm and safe.
This study looks at how often low blood pressure happens after surgery in the recovery room. It helps doctors understand and better manage blood pressure in patients who just had general anesthesia.
This study tests whether carefully controlling body temperature during and after cancer surgery can help older patients avoid confusion or memory problems after the operation. If you are 65 or older and having a longer cancer surgery, this may be a good option to discuss with your doctor.
This study checks if keeping your body temperature steady during lung surgery (using a special monitor) helps reduce pain after the operation. It may also lower the risk of complications.
