Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Immediate postoperative hypothermia on arrival defined as Core Body Temperature less than 36.0 degree Celsius recorded within 10 minutes of arrival to PACU or Recovery Room or ICU.Timepoint: Immediate postoperative hypothermia on arrival defined as Core Body Temperature less than 36.0 degree Celsius recorded within 10 minutes of arrival to PACU or Recovery Room or ICU.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To identify independent risk factors for arrival hypothermia using multivariable modeling.Timepoint: At Arrival at PACU or Recovery Room or ICU.;To estimate incidence and predictors of hypothermia on arrival.Timepoint: At Arrival at PACU or Recovery Room or ICU.;To assess association of arrival hypothermia with immediate recovery outcomes including shivering, need for active warming escalation, PACU length of stay, unplanned ICU admission from PACU, early postoperative complications within 48 h.Timepoint: At Discharge from PACU or Recovery Room or ICU. 48 hours after arrival at PACU or Recovery Room or ICU.
