Additionally, general anesthesia lowers the thresholds for shivering and vasoconstriction, which leads to dysfunction of central thermoregulation. Perioperative hypothermia is associated with adverse outcomes after surgery. In this study, we aimed to demonstrate that prewarming for 10 min can effectively prevent early hypothermia during PNL. Methods: A total of 68 patients scheduled for elective PNL were recruited to this study from January to June 2022, but two patients were excluded because of a change in the surgical plan. After randomization, patients in the prewarming group (n = 32) received warming using a forced-air warming device for 10 min in the preoperative area before being transferred to the operating room, while the controls (n = 34) did not. The incidence of hypothermia within the first hour after inducing general anesthesia was the primary outcome. Perioperative body temperatures and postoperative recovery findings were also evaluated. Results: Early intraoperative hypothermia decreased significantly more in the prewarming group than in the control group (9.4% vs. 41.2%, p = 0.003). Moreover, the net decrease in core body temperature during surgery was smaller in the prewarming group than in the control group (0.2 \u00b0C, vs. 0.5 \u00b0C, p = 0.003). In addition, the prewarmed patients had a lower incidence of postoperative shivering and a shorter post-anesthesia-care unit (PACU) stay (12.5% vs. 35.3%, p = 0.031; and 46 vs. 50 min, p = 0.038, respectively). Conclusions: Prewarming for 10 min decreased early hypothermia, preserved intraoperative body temperature, and improved postoperative recovery in the PACU.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm13071843","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,25]],"date-time":"2024-03-25T12:32:36Z","timestamp":1711369956000},"page":"1843","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Clinical Efficacy of 10 Min of Active Prewarming for Preserving Patient Body Temperature during Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy: A Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0455-2801","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jung-Woo","family":"Shim","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine, Seoul St. Mary\u2019s Hospital, College of Medicine, The Catholic University of Korea, Seoul 06591, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hyejin","family":"Kwon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine, Yeouido St. Mary\u2019s Hospital, College of Medicine, The Catholic University of Korea, Seoul 06591, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9352-3411","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hyong Woo","family":"Moon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, Seoul St. Mary\u2019s Hospital, College of Medicine, The Catholic University of Korea, Seoul 06591, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Min Suk","family":"Chae","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine, Seoul St. Mary\u2019s Hospital, College of Medicine, The Catholic University of Korea, Seoul 06591, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2655","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(15)00981-2","article-title":"Perioperative thermoregulation and heat balance","volume":"387","author":"Sessler","year":"2016","journal-title":"Lancet"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"318","DOI":"10.1097\/ALN.0b013e31817f6d76","article-title":"Temperature monitoring and perioperative thermoregulation","volume":"109","author":"Sessler","year":"2008","journal-title":"Anesthesiology"},{"key":"ref_3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"662","DOI":"10.1097\/00000542-199503000-00008","article-title":"Heat Flow and Distribution during Induction of General Anesthesia","volume":"82","author":"Matsukawa","year":"1995","journal-title":"J.
