Perioperative Outcomes Associated with Intraoperative Hypothermia in Pediatric Patients with Preserved Functional Capacity Undergoing Anesthesia: A Multivariate Analysis.

ABSTRACT: Background/Objectives: Few studies have investigated the perioperative adverse events following intraoperative hypothermia in pediatric patients with preserved functional capacity. We aimed to assess associations between intraoperative hypothermia and adverse outcomes in pediatric patients undergoing anesthesia. Methods: This retrospective cohort study included children under 12 years of age who underwent anesthesia in 2020 at Songklanagarind Hospital, Thailand. Intraoperative hypothermia was defined as the occurrence of one or more episodes of a core temperature drop to <36 °C during anesthesia. Perioperative data were extracted from the hospital information system and analyzed to identify adverse outcomes. Children with an American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physica
