“…Forced-air warming has been shown to be effective in maintaining body temperature 56 . Other proven measures include the use of blankets, administration of warmed intravenous and irrigation fluids, warming of anaesthetic air, and a high theatre temperature 57 . It should be borne in mind that the forced-air heating system is controversial in combination with ultra-clean air ventilation, but there is no high-quality information to prove this point 58 .…”

Background: Surgical-site infection (SSI) is still the second most common healthcare-associated infection, after respiratory tract infection. SSIs are associated with higher morbidity and mortality rates, and result in enormous healthcare costs. In the past decade, several guidelines have been developed that aim to reduce the incidence of SSI. Unfortunately, there is no consensus amongst the guidelines, and some are already outdated. This review discusses the recent literature regarding alternatives to antibiotics for prevention of SSI.Methods: A literature search of PubMed/MEDLINE was performed to retrieve data on the prevention of SSI. The focus was on literature published in the past decade.

“…12 The recently published National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) guidelines and Cochrane review on prevention of peri-operative hypothermia recommends that blood products and fluids administered to patients under anaesthesia should be warmed to 37.0 °C. 13,14 Conversely, other authors did not confirm this result. 15 Our study and that of Dyer and Heathcote 16 provide evidence that although the temperature fall was less with prewarmed irrigant it still dropped at average of 10 °C.…”

Study DesignProspective, randomized control trial. ObjectivesTo evaluate and compare the effect of warm and unwarmed irrigation fluid and anaesthetic technique on core temperature in patients undergoing Transurethral resection of prostate. Summary of Background DataMaterial and Methods: The present study was conducted in 80 patients belonging to age group18-75 yrs of posted for TURP under general anaesthesia or spinal anaesthesia. Group A: General Anaesthesia with irrigation fluid at room temperature. Group B: GeneralAnaesthesia with irrigation fluid at 37 °C. Group C: Spinal Anaesthesia with irrigation fluid at room temperature. Group D: Spinal Anaesthesia with irrigation fluid at at 37 °C. ResultsAmongst the four Groups, all the subjects showed consistently reduced core temperature which was statistically significant (p<0.05) at all time intervals. Core temperatures were lower in the group receiving unwarmed irrigation fluid compared with the prewarmed irrigation fluid group at the end of surgery. The mean decrease in core temperature at the end of surgery 4.Use of prewarm irrigation fluid resulted in lesser drop in core temperature as compared than that receiving unwarmed irrigation fluid. The drop was relatively least in patients under general anaesthesia.

“…Therefore, we suggest warming during transportation or active pre-warming awaiting the operation to increase preoperative body temperature and prevent intra-operative hypothermia in laparoscopic as well as laparotomic patients [25][26][27].…”

“…Even though tympanic membrane temperature can vary according to the measurer, the research assistants were instructed on how to measure the tympanic membrane temperature precisely. Finally, we did not measure the amount of saline used during surgery which could affect intra-operative CBT [26,27]. However, this may not be controversial because the amount of saline used during surgery is small compared to irrigation saline used by the end of operation.…”
