Registration Number
NCT04935632
Lead Sponsor
Centre Leon Berard
Brief Summary

Accidental perioperative hypothermia is a frequent complication of anesthesia that favors the occurrence of infections, bleeding and perioperative cardiovascular accidents, and is responsible for perioperative excess mortality. Although preventive measures are widely used, it remains very frequent in France. This observation led a group of experts to draft, under the aegis of the Société Française d'Anesthésie et de Réanimation (SFAR), several recommendations aimed at improving the prevention of perioperative accidental hypothermia.

Perioperative hypothermia is defined as a core body temperature below 36.0 ° Celsius.

This study aims to evaluate the impact of hypothermia prevention training on the proportion of hypothermic patients in the operating room.
