Temperature regulation is of utmost significance in pediatric anesthesia due to several reasons:

To address these concerns, anesthesia providers employ various strategies to maintain normothermia in pediatric patients, including prewarming of operating rooms and equipment, use of warming blankets or mattresses, warmed intravenous fluids, humidification of inspired gases, and active temperature monitoring throughout the perioperative period. By prioritizing temperature regulation as part of perioperative care, anesthesia providers can mitigate the risks associated with hypothermia and optimize outcomes for pediatric patients undergoing anesthesia and surgery.
