AbstractPatients with cold agglutinin disease who undergo total hip arthroplasty (THA) are rarely encountered. Patients with cold agglutinin disease are very sensitive to cold ambient temperatures and require scrupulous perioperative body-temperature management. However, THA requires a cementing procedure that exposes patients to cold temperatures during surgery and may result in autoimmune hemolytic anemia in these patients. Thus, perioperative management of patients with cold agglutinin disease undergoing THA requires more than just scrupulous systemic temperature management. Here, we present the successful perioperative management of a patient with severe cold agglutinin disease who underwent THA with a cemented stem.Copyright © 2022 The Author(s).
