Introduction: One of the complications of surgery is changes in the patient's temperature, which is caused by multiple factors and exacerbates the occurrence of other complications. This study investigated the effect of two methods of anesthesia, general anesthesia and spinal anesthesia on body temperature and shivering intensity in patients undergoing surgery was investigated.
Methods: In this study, 60 patients undergoing orthopedic, neurological, general, and urological surgeries were randomly divided into two groups of 30 each. In group A, patients underwent general anesthesia and in group B, patients underwent spinal anesthesia. The groups were compared in terms of operating room temperature, patient body temperature during surgery, and shivering intensity. Data correlation was performed using Spearman's criterion, and data were compared using the T-test.
Results: There was no significant difference between the study subjects in terms of demographic characteristics (P>0.05). Operating room temperature, patient body temperature, and surgery duration did not show a significant difference between the groups, but there was a correlation between operating room temperature and patient body temperature. There was also an inverse correlation between patient body temperature and shivering intensity and surgery duration. The two groups showed a significant difference in terms of shivering intensity.
Conclusion: The results of this study showed that the choice of anesthesia type, the physical condition of the patient and operating room play an effective role in temperature changes and the occurrence of shivering, which the surgical team should consider preventing surgical complications.
