Warming strategies for preventing hypothermia and shivering during cesarean section: A systematic review with network meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials

Practice towards perioperative care of cesarean delivery in Debre Tabor Comprehensive Specialized Hospital, North Central Ethiopia: Cross-sectional study

“…In this study, intravenous fluid warming was applied in a small number of CDs (1.9%), operating room temperature was not increased at all and forced-air warming was not applicable in a clinical setup. This result contradicts a review in which the application of preventive methods avoids inadvertent hypothermia [ 33 ].…”

Forced-air warming and continuous core temperature monitoring with zero-heat-flux thermometry during cesarean section: a retrospective observational cohort study

“… 17 Yet, core temperature in parturient patients under spinal anesthesia is poorly monitored due to practical difficulties, 17 , 18 and studies in this area have produced mixed results. 8 , 10 , 12 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 An optimum approach for clinicians on monitoring patients' core temperature and preventing hypothermia during cesarean sections remains to be determined. 17 , 23 …”

Effect of Preoperative Oral Carbohydrate Loading on Body Temperature During Combined Spinal-Epidural Anesthesia for Elective Cesarean Delivery

“…A meta-analysis including 18 recent studies found that the use of thermal mattresses was a better strategy for intraoperative warming; however, the effects of important factors reflecting the efficacy of warming (eg, warming time, body temperature changes, and operative time) on pregnant women undergoing cesarean delivery were not analyzed, and information about adverse events, such as subsequent infection, were lacking. 19 Due to the limited effect of these intraoperative warming measures and the short duration of cesarean delivery surgery, these measures have not been routinely adopted in countries and regions with limited medical resources, including China. Compared with the aforementioned measures, preoperative oral carbohydrate loading for thermogenesis—an important clinical practice in ERAS—is simple, easy to implement, and inexpensive.…”
