Maintaining normothermia is crucial for patient safety during surgical procedures. The AORN updated guideline on patient temperature management, features an expanded scope and provides perioperative teams with the tools they need to implement consistent, high-quality care.

The most significant change to the guideline is its name and scope. Previously focused solely on hypothermia prevention, the updated guideline now addresses patient temperature management, encompassing both hypothermia and malignant hyperthermia. This expansion reflects a more holistic approach to temperature regulation throughout the perioperative journey.
