Objectives: We aimed to compare tympanic membrane temperature changes and the incidence of inadvertent perioperative hypothermia (IPH) in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy under general anesthesia in laminar airflow systems (LAS-OR) and conventional turbulent airflow systems (CAS-OR). Background: Different heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems are used in the operating room (OR), such as LAS and CAS. Laminar airflow is directed directly to the patient in LAS-OR. Does laminar airflow in ORs cause faster heat loss by convection? Methods: This is a prospective, randomized study. We divided 200 patients with simple randomization (1:1), as group LAS and group CAS, and took the patients into the LAS-OR or CAS-OR for the operation. Clinical trial number: IRCT20180324039145N3. The tympanic membrane temperatures of patients were measured (°C) before anesthesia induction ( T 0) and then every 15 min during surgery ( Tn). Changes (Δ n) between T 0 and Tn were measured. Results: In the first 30 min, there was a temperature decrease of approximately 0.8 °C (1.44 °F) in both groups. Temperature decreases at 45 min were higher in group LAS than in group CAS but not statistically significant, Δ45, respectively, 0.89 (95% confidence interval [CI] [0.77, 1.02]) versus 0.77 (95% CI [0.69, 0.84]; p = .09). IPH occurred in a total of 60.9% (112 of 184) of patients in the entire surgical evaluation period in group LAS and group CAS (58.9% vs. 62.8%, p = . 59). Conclusions: IPH is seen frequently in both HVAC systems. Clinically, the advantage of HVAC systems relative to each other has not been demonstrated during laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Core Body

Background : Body temperature is a vital sign and 37°C is the mean core body temperature of a healthy human. Core body temperature is normally tightly regulated and maintained within narrow range. Perioperative hypothermia is one of the major problems during surgery and anesthesia that can affect operated patients. Methods: Institutional based cross-sectional study was conducted. Patient interview, chart review and temperature measurement were employed for data collection. Temperature was measured using tympanic membrane thermometer. SPSS version 20 software was used for analysis. binary logistic regression was used to look at associations anda p-value of <0.05 was considered statistically significant. Result :The overall magnitude of preoperative, intra and post-operative hypothermia in this study was 16.2%, 53.2% and 31.3%, respectively. Age (AOR=7.15, 95% CI, 1.16, 43.99), coexisting illness (AOR, 3.32, 95% CI, 1.06; 10.36), preoperative hypothermia (AOR; 57; 95% CI; 7.1, 455.4), operation room temperature (AOR=1.91; 95 % CI, 1.04; 3.5) and crystalloid fluids administered (AOR; 2.3; 95% CI, 1.07, 4.9) were found to be factors associated with intraoperative hypothermia. Conclusion and recommendation: The magnitude of perioperative hypothermia remains high. Measures should focus on improving room temperature and warming up fluids. Susceptible patients like the aged and those with coexisting disease should be given extra attention.
