BACKGROUND We aimed to investigate the oral carbohydrate solution administered preoperatively on thermoregulation. MATERIAL AND METHODS The study included 40 female patients under general anesthesia. Patients were randomly divided into 2 groups: Group CONT (stopped oral implementation 8 h before the operation) and Group CHO (800ml oral carbohydrate fluid 8 h before the operation and 400ml ora...

Postoperative shivering (PAS) is uncomfortable for patients and potentially risky. In this observational trial we sought to identify independent risk factors for PAS after general anesthesia. Potential risk factors for PAS were recorded in 1340 consecutive patients. Signs of shivering, peripheral and core temperature, and thermal comfort were recorded in the postanesthetic care unit. The data w...

 Hipotermia post operasi sangat mengganggu kenyamanan pasien dalam proses pemulihan. ini disebabkan karena ruang dan ICU memiliki suhu yang rendah. juga dapat terjadi luka terbuka, aktifitas otot-otot inhalasi gas-gas dingin infus dengan cairan dingin, agens obat-obatan (bronkodilator, fenotiasin, anesthesia), usia lanjut neonates. Tubuh akan melakukan mekanisme pembuangan p...

BACKGROUND Large-volume lipoplasty is becoming more common and has been proven to be safe and effective. Large-volume lipoplasty is normally performed with the patient under general anesthesia. Techniques of general anesthesia and fluid management are important factors in improving the safety of large-volume lipoplasty. OBJECTIVE Certain important considerations in anesthesia and perioperativ...

the heroine and eventually died of hypothermia. A patient who enters the cold environment of an operating room is also at risk of becoming hypothermic. The human thermoregulatory system usually maintains the core body temperature near 37 o C. Temperature control is accomplished through a feedback mechanism involving the central nervous system. The hypothalamus acts as a thermoregulatory center ...

Background Nowadays, pain, nausea, and vomiting are regarded as important complications of anesthesia and surgery. The current study aimed at assessing the effect of preemptive intravenous acetaminophen on control of pain, nausea, vomiting, shivering, and drowsiness following the general anesthesia for retina and/or vitrectomy surgeries. Methods In a randomized, double-blind, clinical trial, ...

The role of therapeutic moderate hypothermia (32 to 34oC) has evolved in the past decade and become an essential part of management following post-cardiac arrest resuscitation.1 Additionally, this practice has gained momentum as a potential neuroprotective measure in patients following acute brain injury. However, achieving and maintaining the target temperature is challenging. The human body m...
