Özet: The normal level of functioning of various metabolic processes in our body depends on normal body temperature. It is very important to maintain the patient's normal body temperature before, during, and after surgery to prevent possible complications. The occurrence of postoperative hypothermia is higher than hyperthermia. Pediatric hypothermia is a condition that needs to be prevented. Today, the use of various methods helps to prevent hypothermia; and guidelines exist for the prevention and management of hypothermia, supported by research that makes this process more reliable. With this mini-review, we aim to create a common multidisciplinary approach to prevent hypothermia. This study is about the current views addressing the maintenance of normal body temperature and discusses the risk factors predisposing to hypothermia and the goals of evidence-based hypothermia management in pediatric patients.
