Warming of irrigation fluids for prevention of perioperative hypothermia during arthroscopy: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Arthroscopy | Dec 09, 2017
Steelman VM, et al. - Researchers, herein, investigated if the use of warmed irrigation fluids (32°C-40°C) vs room-temperature irrigation fluids (20°C-22°C) could decrease the risk of perioperative hypothermia (<36°C) for patients undergoing shoulder, hip, or knee arthroscopy. They reported that as a result of warming of irrigation fluids for shoulder and hip arthroscopy, the following benefits were obtained: the risk of hypothermia was less, the drop in intraoperative temperature was less, the lowest body temperature was higher, and the risk of postoperative shivering was reduced.
