Brief Summary  
Meta-analyses and randomized controlled trials have shown that intraoperative hypothermia is correlated
with occurrence of wound infection, cardiac morbidities, bleeding and transfusion requirement,
shivering and increased post-operative discomfort, negative catabolism and nitrogen balance, and
an overall higher mortality. Consequently, perioperative temperature monitoring and
avoidance of intraoperative hypothermia are recognized as worthy quality improvement measures
aimed at optimizing surgical care.
Many perioperative factors make the patient prone for intraoperative hypothermia during
esophagectomy surgeries. These include- preoperative weight loss, alopecia due to neo-adjuvant
chemotherapy, long duration of surgery, opening of two body cavities (thorax and abdomen) use
of capnothorax and/or pneumo- peritoneum, and blood loss during the surgeries. Mild hypothermia
(core temperature between 34-36 degrees Celsius) is noted in 20-50% of patients undergoing
esophageal surgeries. [4] Measures to avoid hypothermia include pre-emptive skin warming,
maintenance of operating room temperature at 21 °C or 69.8 °F, humidification of airway,
intravenous fluid warming, applying blanket for skin coverage, forced-air convective warming
system, circulating water mattresses, circulating water garments, or combinations of methods [5]
In this context, we would conduct a amphi-directional (4 years retrospective and one year
prospective) observational study to find the incidence of hypothermia, the causes for the
hypothermia and its effect on the early post-operative complications in adult patients undergoing
esophagostomies at tertiary care cancer centre

Following data will be collected:
a. Demographic data (age, sex, weight, height, BMI)
b. Pre-operative data: like pre-operative weight loss,preoperative co-morbidities, details of neo-adjuvant treatment
c. Intra-operative data temperature recording and temperature maintaining devices 
d. Details of core body temperature record every one hour during the duration of surgery
e. Details of any intra-operative complication (need for vasopressors, arrhythmia,
desaturation etc.)
f. Post-operative details: like shivering, respiratory and cardiac complications, surgical site infections
Demographic data will be analyzed using frequencies, and the averages with measurements of
dispersion of data.
Descriptive data will be analyzed using frequencies, means, standard deviations and ranges.
Association between various factors and the hypothermia will be tested by multivariate analysis to
find out independently associated factors.
