The data collection form included questions to determine the characteristics of nurses and the risk factors, complications, and preventive practices of inadvertent perioperative hypothermia. The data forms were distributed by visiting the nurses one by one and were retrieved after an appropriate time. For statistical analyses, Statistical Package for the Social Sciences 22.0 software was used.\n\nRESULTS: The most known risk factors for IPH were \u201cexcessive blood loss\u201d (75.4%), \u201canemia\u201d (73.0%), and \u201cinadequate covering of the patient\/ not enough clothing\u201d (72.9%). The most known complications of inadvertent perioperative hypothermia were \u201cincreased oxygen consumption and need\u201d (65.6%), \u201chypoxemia\u201d (61.5%), and \u201chypoxia\u201d (49.4%). The most preferred method to provide normothermia in the perioperative period was \u201ccovering the patient with a blanket\u201d (80.3%).\n\nCONCLUSION: In this study, nurses did not have enough information about the risk factors and complications of Inadvertent perioperative hypothermia. In addition, it was determined that most of the nurses did not use the methods in the guidelines to prevent inadvertend perioperative hypothermia.\n\nCite this article as: Koyuncu, A., G\u00fcng\u00f6r, S., &amp; Yava, A.
