Effect of Warm Irrigation Fluid on Mitigating Hypothermia in Intervertebral Foramen Surgery .
Effect of medium with moderate temperature on patient's body temperature during percutaneous endoscopic lumbar discectomy
J Orthop Surg Res. 2022 Jun 28;17(1): 336.One hundred and ten patients undergoing intervertebral foramen surgery were randomized to either receive heated saline for irrigation (n=55) or saline at room temperature (n=55).
