Perioperative Hypothermia
Conditions
Brief summary
Hypothermia that may develop in the perioperative period is associated with many adverse clinical outcomes. In particular, pediatric patients were more susceptible to hypothermia and related complications such as respiratory distress, metabolic acidosis, hypoglycemia, hypoxemia, cardiac disorders, coagulopathy, and wound infection than adults. In this study, the effect of preoperative carbohydrate-rich feeding on temperature regulation in pediatric patients was investigated.

| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| the effect of oral clear liquid intake containing carbohydrates 3 hours before preoperatively on body temperature in the pediatric age group, compared to the group taking water 3 hours before surgery. | 1 March 2019- 31 july 2019 | In order to benefit from the thermic effects of nutrients, intravenous or oral administration of nutrients before or during the operation has been used. These include administering amino acid solutions and administering carbohydrate solutions Providing essential nutrients increases metabolic heat production, reducing the inequality between heat production and loss. The primary goal of this approach is to increase energy expenditure following the administration of essential nutrients, causing a response known as diet-induced thermogenesis. The body temperatures of the patients were measured perioperative with a tympanic thermometer at regular intervals. Values lower than 36.0oC were considered as hypothermia. |
