INTRODUCTION: Hypothermia in the neonatal surgical population has been linked with significant morbidity and mortality. Our goal was to decrease intra and postoperative hypothermia.
INTERVENTION: In November 2021, a radiant warmer and hat were included along with standard warming methods prior to the start of General Surgery procedures to minimize episodes of hypothermia.
PRIMARY OUTCOME: Core body temperature was measured pre, intra and post-operatively.
METHODS: Data were prospectively collected from electronic medical records from July 2021 to March 2023. A retrospective analysis was performed. Hypothermia was defined as a temperature <36.5C. Control charts were created to analyze the effect of interventions.
RESULTS: A total of 277 procedures were identified; 226 abdominal procedures, 31 thoracic, 14 skin/soft tissue and 6 anorectal. The median post-natal age was 36.1 weeks (IQR: 33.2-39.2), with a pre-surgical weight of 2.3 kg (IQR: 1.6-3.0) and operative duration of 181 min (IQR: 125-214). Hat and warmer data were unavailable for 59 procedures, both hat and warmer were used for 51 % procedures, hat alone for 29 %, warmer alone for 10 % and neither for 10 % of procedures. Over time there was a significant increase in hat utilization while warmer usage was unchanged. There was a significant increase in the mean lowest intra-operative temperature and decrease in proportion of hypothermic patients intra-operatively and post-operatively.
CONCLUSIONS: The inclusion of a radiant warmer and hat decreased the proportion of hypothermic patients during and after surgery. Further studies are necessary to analyze the impact on surgical outcomes.
LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: III.
