Abstract
Background: This study evaluated the effect of perioperative infusion of amino-acid and Ringer solutions on intraoperative hypothermia (by measuring esophageal and skin temperature), amount of blood loss and transfusion requirement, duration of recovery and hospital stay and post-operative shivering.
Methods: Forty two cancer patients scheduled for pelviabdominal surgery were randomly allocated into two equal comparaЫе groups. The first group (Aminoven group) received Aminoven 10% solution while the second group (Ringer group (received warm Ringer solution. Evaluated variables included esophageal and skin temperature, amount of blood loss and transfusion requirement, duration of recovery and hospital stay and post-operative shivering.
Results: Aminoven group and Ringer group there is significantly difference in core and skin temperature, amount of blood loss and transfusion requirement, duration of recovery and hospital stay and post-operative shivering.
Conclusions: Our findings suggest that Amino acid infusion before anesthesia and surgery restored core body temperature and almost eliminated post-operative shivering and the related complications of hypothermia.
Key Words: Amino acid — Core temperature — Shivering — Hypothermia — Complication.
