Perioperative body temperature measurements

Core and skin body temperature measurements immediately before and during general anaesthesia for ophthalmic surgery in adults pertaining to the study conducted by Steyn FA, Du Toit L, Naidoo T, Hofmeyr R, titled "A descriptive study of the relationship between preoperative body temperature and intraoperative core temperature change in adults under general anaesthesia". Southern African Journal of Anaesthesia and Analgesia. 2021 Nov 24;27(6):292-8.This study set out to investigate the relationship between immediate preoperative noninvasive body temperature measurements and the incidence of intraoperative hypothermia (core body temperature < 36 deg Celsius) in participants undergoing general anaesthesia for more than an hour, with limited environmental exposure, and minimal physiologic stress (ophthalmic surgery).

本研究由 Steyn FA、Du Toit L、Naidoo T、Hofmeyr R 共同完成，旨在探讨成人于全身麻醉下行眼科手术前即刻及手术过程中的核心与皮肤体温测量值之间的关联。该研究题为《全身麻醉下成人术前体温与术中核心体温变化关系描述性研究》，发表于《南非麻醉与镇痛杂志》。研究旨在探究全身麻醉超过一小时、环境暴露有限且生理应激最小（眼科手术）的受试者中，术前即时非侵入性体温测量值与术中低体温（核心体温低于36摄氏度）发生率之间的关系。
