Abstract:[Objective] To investigate the effect of body temperature control on intraoperative blood loss in lumbar surgery. [Methods]A total of 80 patients undergoing posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) were divided into two groups by random number table method. Ofthem, 40 patients in the routine group (RG) received conventional intraoperative body temperature management, while other 40 patients inthe temperature control group (TCG) underwent intraoperative dynamic temperature control. Perioperative core body temperature and intra-operative blood loss were observed and recorded. [Results] All patients in both groups were operated successfully without serious complica-tions. All patients in the TCG maintained normal body temperature during operation, instead, 24/40 (60%) patients in the RG experiencedhypothermia during operation. The RG got significantly greater intraoperative blood loss than the TCG [(355.3±86.4) ml vs (230.3±49.2) ml,P<0.001]. As result of Pearson correlation, the core body temperature was significantly negatively correlated to intraoperative blood loss 1hour intraoperatively (r= -0.837, P<0.001) and after anesthesia resuscitation (r=-0.839, P<0.001). [Conclusion] Body temperature controlcan avoid the occurrence of intraoperative hypothermia in lumbar surgery, reduce the amount of intraoperative blood loss, and reduce theneed for blood transfusion.
