AbstractPerioperative hypothermia remains a common occurrence despite the development and dissemination of a clinical practice guideline for the prevention of unplanned perioperative hypothermia by ASPAN. Unfortunately, a process for measuring compliance with and adoption of this guideline has yet to be developed. The purpose of this article is to describe a medical record abstraction method for determining the degree of adoption of the ASPAN Clinical Guideline for the Prevention of Unplanned Perioperative Hypothermia in the perianesthesia setting. Use of the instrument for future research is also explored.
