Article Abstract

Background: Postoperative hypothermia seems to be a common problem in surgical patients but is easily ignored. This study aimed to identify risk factors for postoperative hypothermia in non-cardiac surgery patients.

Methods: We searched databases including PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, CINAHL, VIP, Wan Fang, CNKI, and CBM from inception to April 2025. The studies were selected using inclusion and exclusion criteria. Two reviewers screened studies, extracted data, and independently evaluated the risk of bias. The quality of the study was assessed with the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale, and a meta-analysis was carried out with Revman 5.4 software.

Results: A total of 17 studies were included. Age ≥ 60 (odds ratio [OR] = 1.80), BMI < 18.5 kg/m (OR = 1.83), ASA III-IV (OR = 1.87), endoscopic surgery (OR = 1.93), intraoperative blood loss ≥ 100ml (OR = 2.35), intravenous fluid ≥ 1000ml (OR = 1.87), blood transfusion (OR = 1.80), duration of anesthesia > 1 h (OR = 1.99) and duration of surgery > 1 h (OR = 2.34) were significant risk factors that contributed to postoperative hypothermia in non-cardiac surgery patients.

Conclusion: There are many risk factors for postoperative hypothermia in patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery. The results of this research may improve clinician awareness, risk stratification, and prevention of postoperative hypothermia in non-cardiac surgery patients.

Background: Postoperative fever is common following cancer resection and often prompts extensive, costly workups. The purpose of this study was to determine the incidence of and risk factors for postoperative fever in oncology patients, evaluate incidence of true infection, and determine the utility of fever workup.

Methods: Single institution retrospective chart review (2018-2023) identified postoperative oncology patients who developed postoperative fever (≥38.

Background: Parenchymal-volume-analysis (PVA) appears superior to nuclear-renal-scans (NRS) for assessing split-renal-function (SRF). Our objective was to evaluate how ischemia during PN impacts the accuracy of PVA for estimating functional outcomes.

Methods: Partial nephrectomy (PN) patients (2010-2022) with pre/postoperative NRS and cross-sectional imaging were retrospectively analyzed.

Perioperative anesthesia management not only ensures safe and smooth surgery, but its potential immunomodulatory function has also triggered close attention from many researchers. Surgical/anesthetic drugs can cause immunosuppression characterized by decreased natural killer (NK) cell activity, suppression of helper T cell (Th1) function, and imbalance of pro-inflammatory factors. The immunosuppressive microenvironment allows residual cancer cells to evade recognition by the host immune system, resulting in proliferation and distant metastasis.

Introduction: Achieving reliable anesthesia induction and rapid postoperative recovery are crucial aspects of animal research, particularly in small experimental animals. Thiopentone is still a widely used anesthetic drug, but its safety is a primary concern in delivering a safe dose to experimental animals. However, the use of thiopentone in combination with xylazine for surgical procedures in small experimental animals remains underexplored.
