Meta AnalysisEffect of active warming on perioperative cardiovascular outcomes: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.
The objective of this study was to provide an updated review on the active warming effects on major adverse cardiac events, 30-day all-cause mortality, and myocardial injury after noncardiac surgery. ⋯ Compared to routine perioperative care, we found that active warming methods are not necessary for cardiovascular prevention in patients undergoing noncardiac surgery.
