In total, 309 patients from the PROTECT trial were included in this study, of whom 148 underwent routine warming and 161 underwent aggressive warming. The demographics and preoperative characters were similar (Baseline characteristics of patients.Results presented as x ± s or n (%).BMI, body mass index; HTN, hypertension; DM, diabetes mellitus; CRF, chronic renal failure; CAD, coronary artery disease; COPD, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; PAD, peripheral arterial disease.Patients in the aggressive warming group had a mean final core temperature of 37.0 ± 0.2°C, and 35.4 ± 0.2°C in the routine warming group. There was no significant difference in procedure time, intraoperative blood loss, major postoperative complications, length of stay (LOS), and hospitalization costs for patients between groups. No patient in the routine warming group required rescue warming. The reduction in extubation time was 2.37 min (aggressive warming vs. routine warming, 7.96 ± 0.34 min vs. 10.33 ± 0.48 min, Perioperative outcomes.Values were expressed as Mean ± SD or median (Q1, Q3) or n (%).Procedure time = interval from the patient’s entry into the OR until the end of surgery (i.e., dressing on).Extubation time, time from end of surgery to extubation.Turnover time, time from extubation to the admission of the next procedure or the off-time of OR staff.SSI, organ/space surgical site infection; HAI, hospital-acquired Infection; MINS, myocardial injury after non-cardiac surgery.
