Comparison of prewarming plus intraoperative warming with intraoperative warming alone in patients undergoing minimally invasive thoracic or abdominal surgery: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Prewarming has been recommended to reduce intraoperative hypothermia. However, the evidence is unclear. This review examined if prewarming can prevent intraoperative hypothermia in patients undergoing thoracoscopic and laparoscopic surgeries.
