Official Title: National Epidemiology Survey on the Incidence of Perioperative Hypothermia in Patients With Elective Surgery Under General Anesthesia in Turkey
Brief Summary:
Primary objective of the study is to project the incidence rate of perioperative hypothermia under general anesthesia in patients who go under minimum 1 hour long elective surgery in at least 25 hospitals/medical centers in Turkey .
Secondary objectives are to determine the patient risk factors associated with perioperative hypothermia, to determine the surgery risk factors associated with perioperative hypothermia, to determine the other risk factors associated with perioperative hypothermia, intraoperative infusion volume and effect of warming, intraoperative irrigation volume and effect of warming, intraoperative blood infusion volume and effect of warming, to determine complications related to perioperative hypothermia, to improve patient temperature management awareness and processes.
