[Consequences of mal-temperature management during surgical operation].

Bad anesthesia management easily causes mal-temperature situation. Main consequence of it is hypothermia as defined core temperature less than 36 degrees C and the other one is hyperthermia. Usually hyperthermia state have favorable effects on the body; but hypothermia itself does not provide any useful outcome besides one exception. Only confirmed useful exception of hypothermia state is for the post hypoxic brain damage. Other than that, hypothermia may provoke many complications after surgery including higher rate of wound infection, longer duration of hospitalization, more morbid cardiac events, prolongation of drug effects, more postoperative shivering, and delayed post anesthetic recovery. This review article discusses the mal-temperature management during surgery.
