Maternal hypothermia during elective caesarean delivery: A prospective observational study.
Irene BrodshaugElizabeth ReineJohan RæderPublished in: Acta anaesthesiologica Scandinavica (2023)
In the present study almost a third of the women undergoing elective caesarean delivery developed perioperative hypothermia with a core temperature <36.0°C. The mean duration of maternal hypothermia was 77 min, lasting well into the postoperative period for many patients. These data should remind healthcare professionals of the importance of measuring core temperature in all phases of the perioperative setting and to consider optimal warming measures to avoid and treat hypothermia.
