Abstrakt: Background: Hypothermia occurs when the core body temperature of an organism is <36°C, commonly affecting up to 70% of surgical patients perioperatively. Body temperature performs vital role in maintaining normal human activities. However, factors like, the use of anesthetic drugs, cold operating theater, skin antisepsis and cold irrigation of a patient with the body uncovered and the use of intravenous solutions during surgery can leads to a low body temperature. Objective: objective of this study was effect of sociodemographicals on the post operative hypothermia. Method: a hospital based descriptive observational study was undertaken. All the postoperative patients (N=250) that underwent anaesthesia were included. The body temperature was measured after immediately after surgery at the arrival of recovery room or Preanesthetic care unit in post operative period. Analysis was done using the software SPSS version 26.00. Results: Total 250 post operative patients were included in the study. Among them 185 (74%) patients had post operative hypothermia. Mean of age of hypothermia patients were 45.74 years. the maximum cases had hypothermia 173 (93.5%) were having Hindu religion. the majority of patients 63 (34.1%) had hypothermia patients were having no education. 84 (45.4%) had hypothermia they were having farmers. 79 (42.7%) had hypothermia were having monthly income between 11000-19999. 96 (51.9%) had hypothermia they were in rural residency. Therefore while considering p value <0.05 significant, there is no any significant association of hypothermia with socio demographical variables found. Conclusion: The majority of samples 50% were having age between the 19 to 40 years. There no any significant association was found between hypothermia and socio demographical variables.
