Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This study aims to determine the incidence of hypothermia in the local paediatric population in the peri-operative period, identify the risk factors involved, and thereafter develop and implement clinical practice guidelines to reduce IPH such that temperature monitoring and heat conservation measures can be implemented in a cost-effective way. The secondary objectives are to determine the adverse outcomes of hypothermia and warming measures

[]Primary outcomes (2)
- measure
- Incidence (%) of perioperative hypothermia
- timeFrame
- From induction of anaesthesia to discharge from PACU, approximately 8 hours
- description
- Hypothermia is defined as Core temperature\<36 degrees Celsius. Incidence of hypothermia is the occurence of hypothermia, measured in percentage(%).
- measure
- Duration (minutes) of perioperative hypothermia
- timeFrame
- From induction of anaesthesia to discharge from PACU, approximately 8 hours
- description
- Hypothermia is defined as Core temperature\<36 degrees Celsius. Duration of hypothermia is defined as the duration of time in minutes where temperature is less than 36 degrees celsius.
Secondary outcomes (3)
- measure
- Incidence of short term adverse outcomes of IPH in the paediatric population
- timeFrame
- From induction of anaesthesia to discharge from PACU, approximately 8 hours
