The Effect of Temperature Chain Management Scheme During da Vinci Robot-Assisted Radical Resection of Urological Tumor.

To explore the effect of the temperature chain management scheme on inadvertent perioperative hypothermia (IPH) during robot-assisted radical resection of urological tumors. Fifty male patients who underwent elective robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) or robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) surgery from February 2022 to March 2023 in a teaching hospital were enrolled and randomized to receive either intraoperative warming, including forced-air warming blanket and prewarming fluid (group C) or the temperature chain management involving an active warming bunch covering the whole perioperative period (group T). Comparing the core temperature, IPH rates, the incidence of shivering, recovery from anesthesia, and thermal between the two groups. Perioperative core temperature of group T was higher compared with group C ( < 0.05); IPH rates and the incidence of shivering in postanesthesia care unit (PACU) of group T were lower compared with group C ( < 0.05); group T scored higher in thermal comfort compared with group C after PACU 15 minutes, after PACU 30 minutes, and when leaving the PACU ( < 0.05); group T took shorter time on recovering from anesthesia ( < 0.05). Temperature chain management could reduce IPH and postoperative complications during RARP and RARC.
