Study aim
-
Determining of the effect of hypothermia prevention program on recovery time, shivering and hemodynamic status in children who are candidates for orthopedic surgery under general anesthesia
-
Design
-
This study is a randomized, single-blind clinical trial consisting of control and intervention groups.
Which will be performed on 60 patients who are divided into two groups of 30 people by simple random method using 60 sealed envelopes. The patient randomly selects an envelope if the letter A is in the intervention group and if it is B in the control group.
-
Settings and conduct
-
This project was performed in the operating room of Allameh Behlool Gonabadi Hospital and people in the control group received routine care to control the temperature, but in the intervention group, fluids were heated for infusion and the recovery bed was heated. Blinding is done only by the patient and the study will be a blind.

Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
-
Inclusion criteria:
Children undergoing surgery with a minimum of 30 minutes, age 3 to 18 years, general anesthesia, ASA class 1 and 2, body temperature 36 to 37 ° C,
Exclusion criteria:
significant decrease in blood pressure during surgery, temperature above 37.5 ° C or below 36 ° C, blood and blood products, Drugs other than fentanyl during surgery
-
Intervention groups
-
In the control group, the child will routinely receive operating room care, including prep, drop, and infusion of operating room temperature fluids.
In the intervention group, a heated disinfectant solution up to 32 ° C is used for skin disinfection and 37 ° C fluids are used for intravenous infusion. After surgery, patients are transferred to a recovery bed that was warmed before the patient was transferred to recovery.
-
Main outcome variables
-
Determining the incidence of hypothermia, shivering, recovery time, hemodynamic status in both groups
