Brief summary

The primary objectives of the study are * to perform a survey on the clinical management of unintentional hypothermia during surgery in France. * to assess the impact of perioperative hypothermia on anemia and myocardial injury.

Detailed description

100 investigation centers in metropolitan France will participate in the study, targeting 2000 included patients (20 surgical interventions in each center). The duration of inclusion in each center should last at most 2 weeks. The selected surgical interventions will be those performed with a high frequency, practiced in all types of hospitals (public, private, university hospital or not), and requiring anesthesia of at leat 30 minutes (general, epidural or intrathecal anesthesia).

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Core temperatureup to 24 hoursThe temperature will be measured with the same type of thermometer in all investigator sites: SpotOn™ (3M France).
blood lossup to 24 hoursBlood loss will be assessed by haemoglobin variation between preoperative and the first post-operative day.
myocardial injuryup to 48 hoursTroponin T will be measured after the surgical intervention (at least 6 hours after the end of the surgery) and on the second postoperative day (when the patient remains hospitalized).
