“…Patients experience chills and shivering due to hypothermia. It is stated that heating the patient with active or passive methods during surgery is effective in preventing such adverse events (McSwain, Yared, Doty, & Wilson, ). Maintaining body temperature during surgery can also increase patient satisfaction.…”

This study aimed to explore the experiences of the people who underwent orthopedic surgery under spinal anesthesia and to report their feelings and thoughts. The study was carried out using a qualitative approach. Twenty‐one patients were interviewed who underwent orthopedic surgery on the first or second postoperative day. Content analysis was performed after the collection of raw data. NVIVO 12 Pro software was used for data analysis. The frequency count (f) and participant codes (P) were used for the presentation of the findings. The themes and frequency counts obtained by analyzing the interviews with the patients were as follows: “Time passed like watching a movie” (f = 213), “Like an adventure” (f = 587), and “See, feel, look” (f = 405). Five of 21 participants (23.8%) stated that they would not recommend spinal anesthesia. The findings generally indicated the anxiety caused by the unknown, fear in the preanesthetic period, operation experienced like an adventure, and a process generally completed with satisfaction.

“…There is an association between mild hypothermia and risk for surgical site infection (SSI), which is attributable to vasoconstriction 1 . Peripheral vasoconstriction occurs around 34.5° C (94.1° F) 1 . Active cutaneous warming is a common and effective method for intraoperative warming and perioperative personnel should use physical warming methods to help prevent perioperative hypothermia 2,3 .…”

“…Maintenance of intraoperative normothermia is standard of care in modern surgical practice. Intraoperative hypothermia may contribute to perioperative morbidity by causing coagulopathy and increasing the risk of postoperative shivering and cardiac events [1]. Furthermore, current international guidelines recommend the maintenance of normothermia intraoperatively to reduce the risk of surgical site infection [2].…”

Maintenance of normothermia is a priority during major spinal deformity surgery. However, this is difficult due to the large body surface area exposed to ambient temperatures. We report the novel use of an esophageal warming device, added to standard care, to maintain normothermia in three patients. We conclude that esophageal warming is feasible in major spine surgery with no apparent complications. Safety and efficacy, as compared to standard warming devices, will need to be determined in future prospective trials.
