Clinical Scorecard: Creation and internal assessment of a nomogram for forecasting perioperative hypothermia in patients receiving laparoscopic gynecologic surgery with general anesthesia: a retrospective cohort analysis

At a Glance

CategoryDetail
ConditionPerioperative hypothermia
Key MechanismsCore body temperature <36.0 °C during intraoperative or immediate postoperative period
Target PopulationAdult patients undergoing laparoscopic gynecologic surgery under general anesthesia
Care SettingSingle-center, retrospective observational cohort study

Key Highlights

  • 65.8% of patients developed perioperative hypothermia
  • Final model predictors: age, body mass index, operative time
  • AUC of 0.788 in training cohort, 0.810 in validation cohort
  • Sensitivity of 0.925 and specificity of 0.580 in validation cohort
  • Nomogram developed for risk stratification and individualized temperature management

Guideline-Based Recommendations

Diagnosis

  • Define perioperative hypothermia as core body temperature <36.0 °C

Management

  • Utilize targeted temperature monitoring and active warming strategies

Monitoring & Follow-up

  • Implement routine temperature surveillance during surgery

Risks

  • Adverse outcomes include surgical site infections, coagulopathy, higher transfusion requirements, delayed anesthetic recovery, and prolonged hospital stay

Patient & Prescribing Data

Adult patients undergoing laparoscopic gynecologic surgery

Nomogram assists in identifying high-risk patients for hypothermia

Clinical Best Practices

  • Focus on individualized temperature management rather than universal warming measures
  • Consider patient-related factors such as age and body mass index in risk assessment
  • Utilize model for triage in temperature monitoring and warming strategies
