Rectal Temperature Measurement in Detecting Hypothermia During Hip Arthroscopy

Summary

Irrigation fluids used during hip arthroscopy surgery are generally stored at room temperature and are cooler than the core temperature of the patient. They are used abundantly during hip arthroscopy surgery. The aim of this study is to detect local and then general hypothermia that may occur by monitoring the body temperature from the rectal mucosa of patients undergoing hip arthroscopy, using irrigation fluids of different temperatures and comparing it with the temperature measured from the temporal region.

Conditions

• Hip Arthropathy
• Hypothermia
• Orthopedic Disorder

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Rectal temperature measurement

Patients will be operated in the same operating room and at the same room temperature with the same type/amount of covering and body warming. At the start of the surgical procedure, a probe inserted into the rectal mucosa will measure the patient's body temperature every 15 minutes. In addition, the temperature of the patients will be measured from their temporal regions with a contactless thermometer. The data obtained will be analyzed by a blinded researcher. Mean body temperatures measured from 2 different locations (temporal region and rectal mucosa) between the groups will be compared, and the probability of detecting early local and later general hypothermia from the rectal mucosa will be examined

PROCEDURE

Temporal temperature measurement

Patients will be operated in the same operating room and at the same room temperature with the same type/amount of covering and body warming. At the start of the surgical procedure, a probe inserted into the rectal mucosa will measure the patient's body temperature every 15 minutes. In addition, the temperature of the patients will be measured from their temporal regions with a contactless thermometer. The data obtained will be analyzed by a blinded researcher. Mean body temperatures measured from 2 different locations (temporal region and rectal mucosa) between the groups will be compared, and the probability of detecting early local and later general hypothermia from the rectal mucosa will be examined
