Reducing Intraoperative Hypothermia in Infants from the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.

Intraoperative hypothermia is more prevalent than postoperative hypothermia. Standardizing temperature monitoring, transport, and OR warming reduces both; however, further reduction requires a better understanding of how and when risk factors contribute to hypothermia to avoid further increasing hyperthermia. Continuous, secure, and automated data collection improved temperature management by enhancing situational awareness and facilitating data analysis.
