This study aimed to investigate the effect of intraoperative temperature management on the quality of postoperative recovery of patients who underwent pulmonary lobectomy in the PACU.Methods: Totally, 98 patients aged 45– 60 years with a body mass index of 20– 25 kg/m2 who underwent elective thoracoscopic lobectomy were enrolled. Patients were categorized into two groups using a random number table: the conventional group received routine intervention to maintain normothermia (Group C, n = 49) and the aggressive group received integrated interventions (Group A, n = 49). In Group C, normothermic fluid was infused intravenously, the heating blanket was turned on when the intraoperative temperature was < 35.0 °C, and the warming was stopped when the temperature reached 36.5 °C. In Group A, the fluid heated to 37 °C was infused intravenously, and the heating blanket was used intraoperatively. When the body temperature was > 37 °C, the heating blanket was turned off, and when the body temperature was < 36.5 °C, the heating blanket was turned on to continue heating.Results: Steward awakening scores at 1 min and 5 min after extubation and PaO2 levels at 15 min after extubation were higher in Group A than in Group C (P < 0.05); incidence of chills, nausea, and vomiting in the PACU was lower in Group A than in Group C (P < 0.05); and length of stay in the PACU was shorter in Group A than in Group C (P < 0.05).Conclusion: Aggressive intraoperative temperature management of patients undergoing thoracoscopic lobectomy can improve the quality of postoperative recovery in the PACU through a safe and smooth transition compared with routine insulation measures.Keywords: hypothermia, recovery room, thoracoscopy, thoracic surgery
