Perioperative hypothermia in open and laparoscopic colorectal surgery

The consequences of even mild inadvertent perioperative hypothermia (IPH) are significant. There is a perception laparoscopic abdominal surgery is less prone to cause hypothermia than open surgery. However, during laparoscopic surgery, the peritoneal cavity is insufflated with carbon dioxide, which has a greater evaporative capacity than ambient air. This study compared the intra‐operative temperature profile of patients undergoing open and laparoscopic colorectal surgery to define the incidence and severity of hypothermia.
