Incidence of hypothermia in critically ill patients receiving continuous renal replacement therapy in Siriraj Hospital, Thailand.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Hypothermia is a relatively common complication in patients receiving continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). However, few studies have reported the factors associated with hypothermia.

Methods

A retrospective cohort study was performed in five intensive care units (ICUs) to evaluate the incidence of hypothermia and the predictive factors for developing hypothermia during CRRT, with hypothermia defined as a time-weighted average temperature <36 °C.

Results

From January 2020 to December 2021, 300 patients were enrolled. Hypothermia developed in 23.7% of them within the first 24 hours after CRRT initiation. Compared to non-hypothermic patients, hypothermic patients were older and had lower body weight, more frequent acidemia, and higher ICU and 30-day mo
