| dc.description.abstract | Back Ground: Hypothermia defined as a core body temperature less than 36 c . It is a frequent condition encountered in pediatric patients operated under general anesthesia. It is one of the common event during surgery &can have different consequences that increase perioperative morbidity & mortality. Objective: To assess magnitude and associated factors of intra-operative hypothermia among pediatric patients undergoing elective surgery at selected public hospitals in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia from February - April, 2021. Method: Institutional based cross sectional study was conduct on 339 pediatric patients undergoing elective surgery at public hospitals in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia from February - April, 2021. Study participants were selected by systematic random sampling technique. The data collection procedure was Chart review and intra -operative temperature measurement &collected data were analyzed by SPSS version 26. The Independent variables, were analyze using binary &multi logistic regression. Odds ratio, 95% confidence interval, and p-value of <0.05 were consider as cutoff point to tested for statistically significant and to determine the strength of the association. Result: The magnitude of intra-operative hypothermia in this study was 39.8%.Room temperature less than 26c 0 (AOR=6,95%CI,2.859,13.23),volume of fluid administered greater than half liter (AOR=3.6,95%CI,1.83,7.23), Patients who were received un-warm fluid(AOR, 2.2, 95%CI, 1.28,4.04) and duration of surgery and anesthesia time greater than 120 minute(AOR=3.4,95%CI,1.29,8.79) and (AOR=3.8,95%CI,1.25,11.53) Respectively were factors which was significantly associated with intra-operative hypothermia. Conclusion & Recommendation: This study revealed that high magnitude of intra-operative hypothermia among pediatric patients. Room temperature less than 26c , unwarm fluid Administered, volume of fluid administered greater than half liter, duration of surgery and anesthesia time were significantly associated with intra-operative hypothermia. I would like to advice for anesthetist to use warm intra-venous fluid & maintaining of Room temperature above 26c 0 &the public healthy planner advised to set means of prevention of hypothermia based on this study. | en_US |
