Abstract

Objective: Intraoperative hypothermia causes increased bleeding, increased transfusion risks, long of intensive care unit stay and subsequently higher medical costs. This study aimed to determine the effects of hypothermia on perioperative bleeding and intensive care unit stay duration in patients undergoing major oncological urology surgery.
