Introduction:
Thermoregulation:
is the ability of an organism to keep its body temperature within certain boundaries’
Body temperature is usually maintained near a constant level of 36.5–37.5 °C (97.7–
99.5 °F) through thermoregulation
Hypothermia
it is defined as a body core temperature below 36.0 °C (95.0 °F)
Hyperthermia
37.5 or 38.3 °C (99.5 or 100.9 °F
Hyperpyrexia
>40.0 or 41.0 °C (104.0 or 105.8 °F)
.

Temperature monitoring
• Core Sites
– Pulmonary artery
– Distal esophagus
– Nasopharynx
– Tympanic membrane thermocouple
• Other generally-reliable sites
– Mouth
– Axilla
– Bladder
• Sub-optimal
– Forehead skin
– Infrared “tympanic”
– Infrared “temporal artery”
– Rectal

Thermoregulation
Processing of thermoregulatory information:
• Afferent input cold signal-Aδ fiber warm signal-C fiber
• Central control Hypothalmus
• The inter-threshold range (core temperatures that do not trigger autonomic thermoregulatory responses)
is only 0.2℃
• Efferent responses
Major autonomic defenses against heat:
sweating cutaneous vasodilation
Major autonomic defenses against cold:
cutaneous vasoconstriction , nonshivering thermogenesis , shivering

Anesthesia and thermoregulation
• General anesthesia removes a pt’s ability to regulate body temperature through
behavior, so that autonomic defenses alone are available to respond to changes in
temperature
• Inter-threshold range is increased from 0.2 to 4℃ (20 times), so anesthetized pts
are poikilothermic - with body temperatures determined by the environment

PHASE 1
Heat redistribution
decreases 0.5-1.5℃ during 1st hr
Heat redistribution decreases core
temperature, but mean body
temperature and body heat
content remain unchanged
Anesthesia and thermoregulation
Phase 2 Slow linear reduction
decreases in a slow linear fashion for 2-3hrs
Simply because heat loss >metabolic heat production
90% heat loss through skin surface by radiation and convection

Anesthesia and thermoregulation
Phase 3 : thermal plateau
• After 3-5 hrs, core temperature stops decreasing
• It may simply reflect a steady state of heat loss=heat production
• If a pt is sufficiently hypothermic, plateau phase means activation of
vasoconstriction to reestablish the normal core-to-peripheral temperature
gradient
• Separation of core and peripheral compartments

Regional anesthesia impairs both central and
peripheral thermoregulation
Central regulatory inhibition
Increased inter-threshold range
Peripheral sympathetic and motor block
Incorrect perceiving of skin temperature
Behavioral inhibition
Hypothermia fails to trigger cold sensation
Hypothermia
Comparable to general anesthesia but Worst
when general and regional combined
Hypothermia
Complications
• Wound infection
• Decrease Coagulopathy
• Drug metabolism
• Increases morbid myocardial
outcomes
• Promotes bleeding and increases
transfusion requirement
• Thermal discomfort
• Postop recovery time
Potential benefits
• Neuroprotective by dec
CMRO2 (7% 1C) & dec in ICP
• Decrease free radical
formation

Hypothermia management
• Pre warming
• Operative room condition
• Airway heating and humidification
• Fluid warming
• Cutaneous warming / forced air warming
• More layers don't really help much !
• Fluid warming +Forced air warming are enough to maintain core body
temperature intraoperatively

Malignant Hyperthermia
“It is a biochemical chain reaction response triggered by commonly used general
anesthetics and the paralyzing agent succinylcholine, within the skeletal muscles of
susceptible individuals” –MHAUS.org
Has autosomal dominant inheritance
Incidence of 1-5 : 100,000, < 5% mortality rate

Pathopysiology
Alteration in the Ca induced ca release via the ryanodine receptor channel
(RYR1) or! impairment in the ability of the sarcoplasmic reticulum to sequester
calcium via the ca transporter
After trigger agent is administered, there is a sudden and prolonged release of
ca which causes
- Massive muscle contraction
- Lactic acid production
- Increased body temperature

Malignant Hyperthermia
• Call for help (let surgeon know)
• Turn off potential triggering agents
• Administer dantrolene 2.5 mg/kg every five minutes
• Cool patient to 38C
• Monitor and correct blood gases, electrolytes and glucose
• Dantrolene stops the calcium released by binding to the ryanodine receptor and
blocking the opening of the channel therefore stopping the release of calcium. It
has little effect on heart and smooth muscles as the ryanodine receptors differ in
these tissues (RYR2).

• Body maintains normothermia by thermoregulation
• Anesthesia cause hypothermia in three different phases rapid > slow
>plateau
• Hypothermia can leads to serious complication like increase bleeding
,increase transfusion requirement , decrease metabolism ,increase risk
for infection ,increase hospital admission duration
• Hypothermia can be neuroprotective
• Hypothermia can be controlled efficiently.
• Malignant hyperthermia is an anesthetic emergency ,can be predict
during preoperative history, always call for senior help, manageable
inside OR with help of dentroline and needs post op ICU/HDU
postoperatively after discharge
