ABSTRACT
Perioperative is common to find several changes in body temperature ranging
from hyperthermia to hypothermia and death. The main central regulator of
temperature is the hypothalamic preoptic area, which receives and integrates
ascending neural pathways and is responsible for firing the various mechanisms
to maintain homeostasis. During the perioperative it is easily lost the balance
between production and heat loss, accentuated in major surgeries to one
hour. Inadvertent intraoperative hypothermia occurs in up to 20% of patients
undergoing surgery. The major complications associated with hypothermia are;
inhibition of the coagulation cascade, acid-base imbalance, increased bleeding
risk and need for transfusion of blood products, among others. General
anesthesia alters the variation of normal temperature (0.2 to 4 °C) so that the
compensatory thermoregulatory response to cold soars to 34-35 °C and the response to heat at 38 °C. Preheating the skin has been shown reduce the incidence of hypothermia, the intraoperative hypothermia and postoperative shivering, because it limits the effects of the internal redistribution of heat.
The forced-air heating is the most effective technique for rewarming in the
perioperative. The aim of this review is to analyze the problems associated
with temperature changes in the perioperative and current treatment options.
