Postoperative hypothermia after total aortic arch replacement in acute type A aortic dissection-multivariate analysis and risk identification for postoperative hypothermia occurrence.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Postoperative hypothermia (PH) is a common physiological abnormality associated with increased morbidity and mortality after non-cardiac surgery. The incidence, risk factors of PH and its impact on early outcomes after total aortic arch replacement are not clear.

Methods

We conducted a retrospective cohort study in patients with acute type A aortic dissection who underwent total arch replacement from January 2013 to December 2016 at our institution. Basic variables, procedural and postoperative early outcomes were collected. Univariate and multivariate statistical analysis were performed for statistical interpretation. The early outcomes were compared between patients with or without PH.

Results

A total of 300 patients (age 53.8±11.5 years, female 63, 21.0%
