| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The main reason of the intraoperative hypothermia is discrepancy between the adequate temperature for the patient (Pt) and that for the surgeon. We built the new operation room (OR) with new air conditioning system (AS) after the experiments. The new AS has two parts, which are central area for a Pt and lateral area for surgeons. The temperatures of the air from the parts were controlled independently. The frequencies of the hypothermic state in the Pts undergoing surgery in the old ORs were compared with that in the new ORs. Hypothermic state was defined as a temperature cooler by 0.5°C or more than that at the starting point of surgery. In the results, the rate of hypothermic state in old ORs was 28.0% and that in new ORs was 1.9% in gastric cancer Pts. And the rate in old ORs was 35.1% and that in new ORs was 9.3% in colorectal cancer Pt. Thus, the usefulness of the new air conditioning system for achieving Pts’ normothermia and surgeons’ comfort could be verified.
