Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Perioperative hypothermia is a common problem in today´s surgical and anesthesiological patient care and is associated with many adverse events. The intention of this study was to evaluate the current S3 guideline on the avoidance of perioperative hypothermia concerning it´s implementation in the clinical routine.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Perioperative hypothermia is a common problem in today´s surgical and anesthesiological patient care and is associated with many adverse events such as impaired coagulation, increased risk for wound infections and patient discomfort among others. The intention of this study was to evaluate the current S3 guideline on the avoidance of perioperative hypothermia published in 2014 concerning it´s implementation in the clinical routine. In a first phase the current status should be recorded. If this reveals an inappropriate high incidence of perioperative hypothermia training arrangements shall be taken for non-physician personnel in the PACU in a 2nd phase of the project. The third phase is intended to evaluate the effect of the training arrangements on the incidence of hypothermia.
