DOI: 10.1097/md.0000000000015895
Abstract: Abstract Background: Postoperative hypothermia in elderly patients is a well-known serious complication as it impairs wound healing, induces coagulopathy, increases the risk of blood loss, enhances oxygen consumption, and precipitates cardiac arrhythmias. We conducted this… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/aas.13714
Abstract: Inadvertent intraoperative hypothermia is a common occurrence in surgical patients. A thermal suit is an option for passive insulation. However, active warming is known to be more effective. Therefore, we hypothesised that a forced‐air warming… read more here.
