Objective: To describe nursing care in relation to body temperature maintenence during the intraoperative period. Method: Descriptive, cross-sectional
study, performed in June 2015 in the operating department of a hospital in the state of São Paulo. Data were collected using an instrument developed for
this study, which contained sociodemographic, clinical, surgical and nursing care data. Descriptive analyzes were performed for all variables. Results: Nursing
care was analyzed in 19 surgeries, with the highest incidence being laparoscopic cholecystectomy (26.3%), under general anesthesia (52.6%). The mean duration
of anesthesia was 113 minutes. Hypothermia was identified in 84.2% of the patients in the postoperative period. The active cutaneous heating method, with
intravenous solution infusion was used in all patients intraoperatively. Conclusion: Unintentional hypothermia is a recurrent condition in the operating department
and comprimises patients’ recovery. Its prevention is related to the achievement of safer nursing care and the reduction of postoperative complications.
