Importancia de la temperatura del quirófano de cirugía ortopédica y traumatología

Palabras clave: Temperatura, quirófano, sudoración, infección, normotermia, hopotermia

Resumen

La infección en la cirugía ortopédica y la traumatología puede ser catastrófica, entre los factores implicados está la temperatura. Trabajar en un rango térmico óptimo es indispensable para el control de las infecciones asociadas a la asistencia sanitaria, el mantenimiento de las funciones vitales del paciente y la realización de un trabajo seguro y eficiente. La temperatura de los quirófanos de COT debe oscilar de los 18°C a los 24°C para reducir el riesgo de infecciones nosocomiales y, a la par, proporcionar confort al cirujano ortopédico en su trabajo, aunque ello suponga que el resto de profesionales deban abrigarse.
