Covering the head and face maintains intraoperative core temperature.
PURPOSE To determine the effect of covering the patient's head and face on the prevention of intraoperative hypothermia (<35.5 degrees C). METHODS This randomized, prospective trial included 44 adults undergoing elective abdominal surgery. After the induction of anesthesia with thiopental, in 44 patients their extremities and trunk were covered with towels and sheets. In addition, 22 patients...
متن کاملFructose administration increases intraoperative core temperature by augmenting both metabolic rate and the vasoconstriction threshold.
BACKGROUND The authors tested the hypothesis that intravenous fructose ameliorates intraoperative hypothermia both by increasing metabolic rate and the vasoconstriction threshold (triggering core temperature). METHODS Forty patients scheduled to undergo open abdominal surgery were divided into two equal groups and randomly assigned to intravenous fructose infusion (0.5 g . kg(-1) . h(-1) for ...
متن کاملRepair of Head and Face Defects with the Use of Pericranial Flap
Introduction: The pericranial flaps' benefits have been described in many otolaryngologic, maxillofacial and plastic surgery literature. The benefits ar e due to the pericranial flaps unique characteristics including good flexibility and mobility, very rich blood supply from several arterial sources and access to sufficient bulk of the flap without any need for distant surgical sites. Using pe...
متن کاملThe Clinical Role of Intraoperative Core Temperature in Free Tissue Transfer.
BACKGROUND Lengthy microvascular procedures carry hypothermia risk, yet limited published data evaluate the overall impact of core temperature on patient and flap morbidity. Although hypothermia may contribute to complications, warming measures are challenged by conflicting reports of intraoperative hypothermia improving anastomotic patency. METHODS A retrospective review included all free fl...
متن کاملSubchondral Insufficiency Fracture of the Femoral Head Treated with Core Decompression and Bone Void Filler Support
Subchondral insufficiency fracture of the femoral head (SIFFH) is characterized by acute onset hip pain without overt trauma. It appears as a low intensity band with bone marrow edema on T1-weighted MRI. The most common course of treatment is protected weight bearing for a period of several weeks. Total hip arthroplasty (THA) has been commonly used if the patient does not respond to the initial...
