Hypothermia is one of the most common problems that patients experience in the perioperative environment. Hypothermia causes more problems for the patient than the mere unpleasant experience of feeling cold. Additional nursing interventions are required for a patient suffering from inadvertent hypothermia, which often delays the patient's discharge from the perioperative setting. Many of the nursing interventions that are successful in preventing hypothermia and restoring body heat to surgical patients, such as applying a warmed blanket to a patient's body, seem straightforward. Understanding the cause and effects of inadvertent hypothermia, however, is essential in recognizing it and implementing the most effective nursing interventions.
体温过低是患者在围手术期最常遇到的问题之一。体温过低给患者带来的问题不仅仅是感觉寒冷这种不愉快的体验。对于意外体温过低的患者，需要额外的护理干预措施，这往往会延迟患者从围手术期环境中出院。许多成功预防体温过低并使手术患者恢复体温的护理干预措施，比如给患者身体盖上温暖的毯子，看似简单。然而，了解意外体温过低的成因和影响对于识别它并实施最有效的护理干预措施至关重要。
