The Effects of Intraoperative Hypothermia Review of the Molecular Mechanisms of
Action in Therapeutic Hypothermia
Abstract:During surgery the patient may lose heat during and after surgery
through the contribution of several factors: ambient temperature,
cold fluid infusion, the position on the operating table, surgical
skin preparation methods, type of surgery, conventional surgery
