  • Title: The effect of incidental hypothermia on elderly surgical patients.
    Author: Heymann AD.
    Journal: J Gerontol; 1977 Jan; 32(1):46-8. PubMed ID: 830733.
    Abstract:
    Elderly surgical patients are especially susceptible to incidental hypothermia. Thermoregulatory mechanisms and cardiopulmonary systems are limited in recovery potential. To prevent postoperative shock secondary to decreased cardiac output an hypoxia, temperature should be carefully monitored with vital signs during and after surgery.
