Peri-operative Hypothermia in Children

Singapore4,500 participantsStarted 2017-04-18

Plain-language summary

This study aims to determine the incidence of hypothermia in the local paediatric population in the peri-operative period, identify the risk factors involved, and thereafter develop and implement clinical practice guidelines to reduce IPH such that temperature monitoring and heat conservation measures can be implemented in a cost-effective way. The secondary objectives are to determine the adverse outcomes of hypothermia and warming measures
