GroupInterventionDescription
Group A: conventional managementcover with a quilt from the neck to both feetThe ambient temperature of the operating room was set at 23±2 ℃ and the relative humidity was 50% to 60%. Intraoperative infusion fluids, blood products and rinsing fluid were warmed. Patients were given quilts to cover after entering the operating room, and the quilts covered from the neck to both the feet.
Group B: Hypothermia Risk Prediction Joint Active Insulation ManagementIOB Warming Unit (WU505) + Inflatable Warming BlanketIn the test group, after the assessment of the "Intraoperative Hypothermia Risk Prediction APP", patients who were "prompted/recommended to use active warming measures" were actively warmed by inflatable warming (IOB Warming Unit (WU505) + Inflatable Warming Blanket) after admission to the room. Warming Unit (WU505) + Warming Blanket (IOB Warming Blanket)) was used for active warming. The air inlet was connected to the air catheter, and the host temperature was set at 38 ℃ with "high" air speed. During the operation, the thermal blanket is covered with non-surgical sterilization area (such as both shoulders, torso, healthy limbs, etc.), and the host temperature is adjusted to 38 ℃ for thermal insulation. The temperature and wind speed were adjusted in time to maintain the oropharyngeal temperature at 36.2℃~37.2℃ by monitoring the body temperature at any time during the operation.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Incidence of intraoperative hypothermiaUp to 24 hours, from the time of entry into the operating room to the time of exit from the operating room.

Intraoperative hypothermia, defined as a core temperature below 36 °C

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Postoperative coagulation indexup to 24 hours after surgery

Routine intraoperative monitoring indicators

Intraoperative fluid transfusion15 minutes before the end of the surgery

Routine intraoperative monitoring indicators, the general rehydration amount for surgical patients is 4-6 ml per kilogram of body weight per hour

Shivering severity60 minutes

The post operative shivering scale of Badjatia 2008 will be used. It consist of a gradual evaluation of 0 to 3 points, with 0 being the absence of shivering, 1 slight shivering, 2 moderate and 3 severe. The highest score obtained will be recorded within the measurements made every 5 minutes in the first 60 minutes after extubation.

30-day postoperative complications (surgical complications, pulmonary infections, blood clots)30 days after surgery

Routine postoperative monitoring indicators

intraoperative flushing fluid volume15 minutes before the end of the surgery

Routine intraoperative monitoring indicators, record the amount of intraoperative irrigation fluid used, depending on the procedure

Postoperative blood countup to 24 hours after surgery

The number of red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets in the blood is calculated by smearing the blood in a routine blood test and looking at it under the microscope.

30-day postoperative readmission30 days after surgery

Routine postoperative monitoring indicators

Postprocedural Shiveringup to 60 minutes

A compensatory response of the body to hypothermic stimuli that cause rapid rhythmic,Once the procedure is completed, the patient will be extubated and the presence or absence of shivering will be recorded up to 60 minutes after the extubation with the Badjatia 2008 scale consisting of a gradual evaluation of 0 to 3 points. With scores greater or equal to 1, shivering is considered established. contraction of skeletal muscle for thermogenesis

Intraoperative bleeding volumeup to 24 hours after surgery

Routine intraoperative monitoring indicators

6-month postoperative complications (surgical complications, pulmonary infections, blood clots)6 months after surgery

Routine postoperative monitoring indicators

30-day postoperative mortality30 days after surgery

Routine postoperative monitoring indicators

Intraoperative blood transfusion volume15 minutes before the end of the surgery

Routine intraoperative monitoring indicators, recorded according to intraoperative blood transfusion volume
