A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data, surgical procedures, and outcomes of consecutive patients admitted to the department of orthopedics of a hospital from December 2019 to May 2023 and undergoing spinal surgery (scoliosis correction and internal fixation surgery). The impact of the perioperative warming measures on surgical temperature variation and postoperative recovery was analyzed. The surgical patients who received normal active warming measures (quilt, blood transfusion and infusion warming, flushing fluid warming) were the control group (Normal Warming Group [NWG], <i>n</i> = 199), and the enhanced active warming measures (NWG and forced air warming) were the experimental group (Enhanced Warming Group [EWG], <i>n</i> = 201). Incidence of IPH was the primary endpoint of this study. EWG exhibited a significantly reduced incidence of IPH and average frequency of hypothermia per patient compared with NWG (respectively, <i>p</i> < 0.01) and demonstrated notable reductions in intraoperative blood loss, urine output, anesthesia recovery time, and duration of arousal (respectively, <i>p</i> < 0.05, <i>p</i> < 0.01, and <i>p</i> < 0.001).

In June 2014, we introduced endovascular cooling to maintain normothermia for seven days following the initial BHT period. Immediately after the decision to treat the sources of bleeding, cooling was initiated, with a target temperature of 33-34°C. Bleeding sources were extirpated primarily by clipping with decompressive craniectomy. Patients were rewarmed at a rate of ≤1°C/day after ≥48 hours of surface cooling. After being rewarmed to 36°C, temperatures were controlled with antipyretic (chronologically divided into groups A-C with 47, 46, and 46 patients, respectively) or endovascular (group D, 38 patients) cooling. Overall, 177 patients (median age, 62 [52-68] years; 94 [53.1%] women; onset-to-arrival time, 36 minutes [28-50]) were included. The median Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score upon admission was 4 (3-6).
