Randomized Controlled Trial
Perioperative inadvertent hypothermia among urology patients who underwent transurethral resection with either TURis or transurethral resection of the prostate method.
The purpose of the study was to investigate the incidence of perioperative hypothermia in urology patients undergoing transurethral resection with either TURis or transurethral resection of the prostate method and to recognize the risk factors that were responsible for the occurrence of hypothermia intraoperatively in these patients. ⋯ Perioperative inadvertent hypothermia among urology patients who underwent transurethral resection with both TURis and transurethral resection of the prostate method is of high incidence. We recommend monitoring of the temperature of core body of all these patients, especially those with advanced age and lower body mass index.
